If the file is not writable nagios will fire off this sort of error.

Instead of chmod nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/rw Ambrose might have
meant: chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

To set write permissions use:

chmod 660 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
or equivalently:
chmod u+rw,g=rw,o= /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

I've found that this file gets clobbered and recreated with the wrong
permissions every now and then (despite umasks) and as I've been too lazy
to track it down I have a line like "chmod 660 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw" in
my crontab running fairly regularly. (Though this way I'm never likely to
know if I've fixed the problem. :)

Cheerio,

 Brad
