Thanks for your help
I've tried that - I followed instructions online and I just copied and pasted your line too

I think I'm going to give up on nagios - after 3 or 4 weeks I have nothing but wasted time. I do appreciate your efforts though.
Now I have to go googling for another bloody product - do you have any recommendations?

Cheers

I really wish I could be of more help.

We do have some quickstart sessions where a sales tech can help you get through some hurdles if you like you can try that and maybe overcome this problem.
