how does nagios locate config path?

[Mark Gius]

The main nagios configuration file is configurable in the init script.  
All other files are read based on the cfg_file and cfg_dir directives in 
that main nagios configuration file.  So you can either use the default 
nagios.cfg, which then points to things in /export/nagios, or edit the 
init script to also use a nagios.cfg in /export/nagios
