Is NSCA running either as root or nagios or in group nagioscmd? If you
don't see PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT entries when 'tailing'
nagios.cmd, chances are high that it's a permissions issue specifically
related to NSCA. Also verify that your command_file is properly
specified in nsca.cfg. Running NSCA in debug mode might be informative
as well.
