nagios.cmd: who else needs to CHMOD after Rest arts? (Mike McLure)

[Daris Drake]

Mike: 

The problem you see is that you cannot issue commands to nagios from the web
interface (you get "there was an error processing your command. Go back from
whence you came."). I am guessing but any writes to cgi.cmd from cmd.cgi are
failing permissions. Is this an issue with the user/group I compiled with?
Does the nagiosadmin user have to be a member of the nagios group locally?
We are using "nagios" as the compiled user and "nagiosadmin" as the cgi
user. 

I realize we opened that file up to everyone but it was the quick fix while
we tried to figure out what the issue really was/is.
