hosts.config

[Dennis Hünseler]

Hi Layne, 

regarding the config you can configure contacts in stead of complete
groups, but the keyword is contactS not contact as in your example :-) 

CONTACTS: This is a list of the _short names_ of the contacts [1] that
should be notified whenever there are problems (or recoveries) with this
host. Multiple contacts should be separated by commas. Useful if you want
notifications to go to just a few people and don't want to configure
contact groups [2]. You must specify at least one contact or contact group
in each host definition. 

Regards, Dennis
