should also define a ping service for the host. I have several hosts with
just one service, and if that service goes down it considers the host to be down
for some reason... so I decided to add a ping service, too... now if say telnet
goes down, or web server, it will not list the host as being
down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Define "smart". If any service on the host is down, the host itself
appears to be marked down. This is not an accurate assessment of the problem.
Example: I turned off the ldap service on an ldap system. The service detail
view correctly shows that the service is down. The host detail view
incorrectly says the host is down. The host itself is fine. </DIV><BR>
