weird nrpe reporting issue

Newbie+,

I defined this service (host is defined with other services, working fine):

define service{
   use local-service ; Name of service template to use
   host_name serv3
   service_description Current Load
   check_command check_local_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0
}

As far as I know, NRPE service is NOT installed on the serv3 host.  However,
Nagios interface returns values: SWAP OK - 100% free (5727 MB out of 5727
MB) , which are not correct anyway.  Why is Nagios returning values when it
shouldn't be reading any?

Same issue with another service for the same host: check_load.  Returning
values: OK - load average: 0.64, 0.26, 0.17 which are incorrect and of
course NRPE is NOT set up.

In fact, from what I can tell, the values being returned belong to the local
system that the Nagios is running on.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security 
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the 
two and get a better understanding.
