I think that putting in a working config that only does a host check 
using a ping on localhost would be a good start.  Of course, it is 
useless for the user, so he'll have to look at the doc to do more tests.

The default config is already set up to do some tests on localhost.

IIRC, the problem with the config is duplicate check_command 
definitions...  Maybe just get rid of those could help... it is rather 
puzzling at first when you tumble on such an unexpected error.

I think that it is good not to prepare the config for the user, but at 
least, maybe prepare the config so that when the user installs and 
starts it, it starts, and maybe just send an error message like (Right 
now we're only monitoring your local host, please the doc (URL) to 
define more checks).
