This isn't a nagios problem as the entire login process is handled by
apache. Nagios just looks at the http_user environment variable set by
apache to determine who you are. Obviously you're not even getting that
far. I would hope that there would be some explanatory information in
your apache error log. I suspect that it's a permissions problem with
apache not being able to read your htpasswd.users file.
