Dependencies - a little confused.

[Leonardo Henrique Machado]

>I think I'm a little confused about dependencies. I'm running Nagios 1.2 and

Change to Nagios 2.0. It's much better regarding dependencies. Now it
supports inheritance and the new state PENDING.

> 1. Hosts dependencies only effect host checks.

Host dependencies affect only notifications.

If a service fails, Nagios checks the host. But it has nothing to do
with dependencies. It is just like that by default.

That is what I do here. Without PING, no other service should be
checked! I see just Pros.
