Comments in Nagios

[Russell Scibetti]

You don't want to set nagios.cmd permissions to 666.  660 is the right 
setting.  To be able to use commans in the CGI's, you need to add the 
user that your web server runs as to your nagios group.  That way you 
can have only the nagios user and group have write permission to the 
command pipe and no one else.  It's more secure that way.
