I guess the root privileges are dropped after reading the config files.
So for an startup as root nagios can access the file.

The reload just sends a HUP Signal to the process now running as nagios
user. So it won't work.

In my nagios 3.x installation the resource.cfg is owned by nagios.nagios
with file mod 660 like it should be (mentioned in the make file).

Hendrik
