Looks like, but probably not.
I first ran nagios with -d option. Problem.
Then I wanted to find the reason with strace. No problem, so I found noth=
ing. I just
noticed that it worked.
So I tried without the files (service-perfdata and host-perfdata), and wi=
thout -d : it
works.
I removed the files, and ran with -d : problem again.
I tested 2 or 3 times no files in var (and only archive and rw as directo=
ries), and
every time, it was the same thing : with -d it does not work, but without=
, it works. And
when the files exist, it works with -d.

BTW, nothing to do with this mail, but 2 colleagues of mine wrote an arti=
cle on Nagios
in Linux-France Magazine. And it is in first page !!! It should be there =
soon :

You can already see it there : http://213.41.125.3/revue.asp?revue=3DL927=

Where should I post a mail about this ? nagios-users@... ? nagios-announc=
e@... ?
