Is there such thing as automatic passive service check?

This could be caused by freshness checking. If you configure a service 
for passive checks, and no results arrive for the freshness interval 
(and if you have turned on freshness checking, of course), then Nagios 
will perform an active check even if active checks are otherwise 
disabled. I'm using check_dummy to return a Warning state in that situation.
