why isn't setuid/gid discussed as an option to make cmd.cgi be able to 
write to nagios.cmd?  this seems like a better option to the problem.  i 
guess that if there are bugs in cmd.cgi it could be exploited, but i'd 
rather limit those bugs to the nagios user than the apache user.

i'm using setgid so far to good effect.
