problema com o nagios

Quando vou inicar o nagios, aparece a mensagem:
Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start Aborted

Dentro do nagios tem esse log:

Program End[09-01-2011 20:17:26] Bailing out due to errors encountered while trying to initialize the external command file... (PID=20836)

use o comando
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
e ve se aparece algum erro

E retorna pra nós a saída do comando ok!?

:D

Error in configuration file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg' - Line 1298 (UNKNOWN VARIABLE)

Dentro do nagios.cfg

a linha 1298 esta:

authorized_for_system_information=tiago

Bom comentei "#" aquela linha e o erro passou a ser outro:

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

voce instalou o nagios-plugins ?
como voce instalou o nagios ?

fiz a instalação baseado neste artigo http://www.dicas-l.com.br/arquivo/configurando_o_nagios_3_no_debian_lenny.php

e também #apt-get install nagios-plugins

Amigo,

Creio que você efetuou duas instações, uma você compilou manualmente e a outra fez pelo apt-get, correto?

Att.;

realmente, acredito ter feito 2 instalações. Sabe como posso corrigir?

#apt-get remove nagios3

o sistema nao deixa remover

qual o erro que ocorre ?
