FreeBSD could not get group entry for Nagios

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Personally I prefer to compile from source as I know exactly what it 
does and where things go.

I sorted it anyway, it was basically a config item that still read 
"nagios_group=nagios" - I changed that to "nagios_group=localservice" 
and the warning went away.

Thanks

Andy
