No, no.. See, nagios hadn't been configured yet.  It was in whatever
shape the package installs it as.  There wasn't a nagios database, a
nagios user, or any hosts/contacts/etc configured.  There were separate
mysql databases, and the default hosts/contacts/etc configured (that's
where that 'gw' host comes from; it's one of the examples in the default
configs).

I really didn't do anything to nagios to get it to do this; just
installed it. =20

There was only 1 nagios process.  Something I forgot to mention,
however; my attempt to kill it via init script (/etc/init.d/nagios stop)
failed.  I had to kill -9 it.
