I would say no, since nagios doesn't usually open files in /tmp.

[root at dc1 root]# lsof | grep "/tmp/nagios"
[root at dc1 root]#

Is that the location of temp_file in nagios.cfg? Is the command shown in
lsof for those processes nagios or some plugin? I suspect that it's
going to be some misbehaving plugin that you're using.
