This was a leftover from the pre/rc packages

Uhm i didn't even know that one yet. The default seems to
be /var/log/nagios/spool/. At least my nagios uses that though i did not
set the parameter.

Shouldn't this and anything else which ist localstate data and _not_ a
go logfile under /var/nagios ?


Instead of sending spec files or diffs over the ML i put it up on
