AW: Error in configuration file (NULL value)

You may want to look at nagios 2.0, and you may want to look at some
documentation that I've done up specifically for the rpm users of
nagios. It's located here ->
http://www.cognitive-dissonance.org/journal/2006/02/23/configuring-nagios-on-centos-and-rhel/

and while it's not technically for fc3, it should be distro generic
enough to work for you.
