Authorization failures

Here's a listing from my /usr/local/nagios/etc dir

root at dexedrine [/usr/local/nagios/etc] (11) % ls -la
total 116
drwxrwxr-x    3 nagios   nagios       4096 Dec  8 15:47 ./

-rw-r--r--    1 nagios   nagios      21326 Dec  8 15:47 nagios.cfg
-rw-r-----    1 nagios   nagios       3069 Dec  8 15:23 resource.cfg

-rw-r--r--    1 nagios   nagios       4134 Dec  8 15:24 services.cfg
-rw-r--r--    1 nagios   nagios       1589 Dec  8 13:54 timeperiods.cfg

I don't think that's what the problem would be.

Thanks,

Jason
