Not for nagios.cfg. The only directives that go in nagios.cfg are liste
here --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html

The default nagios.cfg should only need minor modifications and no
additions.

The directives above are only valid in Object Configuration Files (files
defined as cfg_file in nagios.cfg).
