passive checks AGAIN

Hello everybody,
I'm getting crazy to get passive checks to work on Nagios 1.2.
I've set up everything so that snmp traps sent from Cisco ATM router
write correctly to nagios.cmd.
I've set up a service to handle more Virtual lines, and to declare which
VRF virtual line is going up or down, using the text space in the
nagios.cmd line.

Here's nagios.cmd:

[1120576366] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;atm1-mi;MPLS-VRF;0;milko

Yet, I was forced by Nagios to set up also a dummy active check
(check_dummy), otherwise it would refuse to startup.

services.cfg

define service {
        use                             generic-service
        name                            passive-service
        is_volatile                     1
        passive_checks_enabled          1
        max_check_attempts              10
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        notification_interval           60     ; 2h
        active_checks_enabled           0
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_dummy!3
        check_period                    24x7
        check_freshness                 1
        register                        0
}

define service{
        use                             passive-service
        host_name                       atm1-mi
        service_description             MPLS-VRF
        contact_groups                  admins-SMS
        }

checkcommands.cfg:

define command{
        command_name    check_dummy
        command_line    $USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$
        }

Now, the BIG problem is that Nagios parses nagios.cmd, but the status
reported is the one set in check_command statement, and not the one
reported in nagios.cmd. So I always get all lines in UNKNOWN(=exit
status 3) state.

Any hint? Please help
Regards,

Mariano
