Yes I did.  The main configuration file is named 'nagios.cfg' isn't it? 
  /etc/nagios is where FC3 puts the config files.

I didn't create the file, it came that way with FC 3. I'm just trying t 
get nagios started so I can determine if it can replace and enhance what 
I already have.

I know it an older version but it what was already installed.  I hope is 
enough to give me an idea of what nagios can do.  If it works out and I 
decide to migrate, I'll upgrade to the latest version.
