[1116192157] Error: Host '1nx1' specified in service 'SMTP' not defined anywhere!

[D.S.]

I've tried to greatly simplify the sample configuration files that come
with nagios.. To this end I have only 1 sample host, and two services
that are monitored.  The problem is I get in the logs:


[1116192157] Nagios 1.2 starting... (PID=28945)

[1116192157] Bailing out due to errors encountered while running the
pre-flight check.  Run Nagios from the command line with the -v option

The host lnx1 is defined below in the hosts.cfg file?  I don't know
where else I should put it.. Any suggestions?
