Yes. I know about it and I'm using it somewhere else but in a different
way. I'm not using a servicegroup but list all services instead. It
works great.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. This explains why I asked the
mailinglist. If I do as you suggested, all NRPE based services will be
depending on the NRPE service on ALL hosts. (not only their respective host)
Here is my servicedependency definition:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_name hosts-with-nrpe
service_description NRPE
dependent_servicegroup_name nrpe-services
execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria c,u
}

I upgraded from Nagios2 to Nagios3 today. I'm therefore using Nagios3.
