It turns out the user nagios has it's home directory in the /usr/local/nagios and the server config files are located in /usr/local/nagios/etc. On the client side the config files are located in the /etc/nagios Can anyone shed any light on how often nagios checks for updated config files? And how it got it's name? -thanks for everyone's help -winn johnston __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
