Using the current 3.x I am using recursion on FreeBsd 6.2 and have no
issues. Please make sure your config files have a .cfg extension as the
config file directs. I have been using recursion since before 3.0
without issues. I even double checked on sub dirs and that read
correctly as well.
Short of the .cfg extension not being on your files I would have to look
at file perms next.
# You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg
# extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
# directive as shown below:
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/switches
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/routers
