Hello, I think we have a poblem with Red Hat rpm's.
When an update occurs, rpm erases all the files I modofied
in /usr/share/nagios/ without making a backup.
      
This is how the rpm is built. The files in /etc/ are listed as config
files with the %noreplace option, so they get left alone. The files in
/usr/share/ get no such protection. While I would like to see the
nuvola theme made the default, I understand this behavior of rpm, and
just work around it.
    

The easy workaround for me is:
  - copy index.html to index.html.SHIPPED
  - edit index.html to my liking
  - create a diff file (diff -u index.html.SHIPPED index.html > index.html.diff)

Then after an package update I can apply the patch once again.

Done this ever sinds 2.0b(something) untill present day 2.9

Hugo.
Yes, you sed it. or better crontab-it,
becouse I don't like to login, cp, cd, ls, diff every time there is an update!

Thank you
