Hi Thanks for you reply. I guess this should be fixed i the next nagios package or next centos version, but for now the public should be told about a workaround, that works with the current versions. There is quite a lot of work hours in this simple workaround, and some people may simply give up using this fantastic software. Please grant me access.
