Problem in configuring NSClient ++

[Sundar V S]

Hi chris, Thanks for the update, as mentioned byyou, my default template.cfg is in the path, "/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/template.cfg." The default host definition is intact and uncommented. No " # " in any part of the file. Is there any alternate way to cross check the configuration, am i specifying anything wrong in the configuration. Do tell me if you require any .cfg file from me to verify.
