In this case, the version of Nagios in the RHEL repo is a version 2
release and that's almost prehistoric and uses a different syntax for
its config files than the far more widely used V3. In EPEL I think we
have V3.0.6 and even that's getting pretty old as v3.2.0 is in rpmforge
and on the Nagios web site.

Be much easier if RH orphaned the V2 release in that repo.
