I have a check_command for my passive checks, but it just exits with a
warning status, and a statement that the check has gone stale. I think
this is normal, but it's been so long since I set this up originally (back
in 2002) that a lot of the details are lost in the fog.

It doesn't, but I can say with certainty that the check hasn't run for at
least 25 minutes now since I restarted Nagios without the freshness stuff.
It may be fixed (assuming it runs again at 9am my time, which is in about
15 minutes), and I think I can live without the freshness checking of
active services if there's no obvious workaround.

Yes:
[r...@nagios3 nagios]# ps -ef |grep nagios |grep -v mysql
nagios 10703 1 0 07:55 ? 00:00:01
/usr/local/nagios-3.0.6/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios-3.0.6/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios 11204 1 0 08:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca -s

Thanks again for your help, Hiren and everyone else!
