Thanks, it's been a while since I've set those config settings. One of the
things I found on my server running nagios was that there were a large
number of 0 byte length files with the IP address of the server with a
randomization string at the end. I theorized that if a socket file already
exists, nagios sees it as an error. Therefore I deleted all the files and I
wonder why they're not being deleted automagically.

Host: WWW03
Address: <-- snip -->
State: UNKNOWN

Date/Time: Tue Apr 18 23:51:25 EDT 2006
