Hi,

So I'm writing some scripts to help me maintain my nagios
configuration (actually to help other people be able to add new hosts,
change some configuration parameters, etc).  Anyway, I'm having a
problem right now.  In the case of hosts/hostgroups, this works fine:

define hostgroup{
houstgroup_name  kiosks
alias kiosks
}

define host{
name host_template
hostgroups kiosks
...
}

define host{
host_name foobar
use host_template
...
}  #foobar will be put in the hostgroup kiosks

however, doing an equivalent configuration w/ contacts/contactgroups
doesn't work (i'm using nagios 2.0b4):

define contactgroup{
  contactgroup_name kiosk-folks
  alias             Kiosk People
}

define contact{
  name                          kiosk_contact
  contactgroups                 kiosk-folks
  ...
  register                      0
  }

define contact{
  use                   kiosk_contact
  contact_name    jdoe
  alias                 John Doe
  ...
}  # DOESN'T ADD TO KIOSK-FOLKS

When try to verify my nagios configuration this is the error i get:

Error: Contactgroup has no members (config file
'/usr/local/opt/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg', starting on line 25)

I don't understand why it works for the one, but not for the other. 
Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
