Host not defined

[Nate Hausrath]

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have the following:

# This should give me generic-host
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg

# This is where the config I sent in my previous email is located
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servers

So that should do it?  The config I displayed below are in the servers folder in the file hgsec.cfg.

Thanks,
Nate
