Entering Service State Information

[Dave Font]

I am running nagios-1.0 on Caldera Openlinux 3.1.1

The installation was trouble-free and the FAQ's have generally been a great
help. I have been trying out the product for about a week and I have found
it very useful.

However, I am trying to enter Service State Information to acknowledge a
particular service problem message.

I type information into the "Entry into Comment:" field, then I  [Commit]

I get the message: Error: Could not stat () command file
'/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd!'

I have checked a FAQ and ensured the 'rw' directory is drwxrws--- and is
owned by 'nagios' and group-ownership is 'nagiocmd'.

I had created a group call 'nagiocmd'

I have created a user-name called 'nagiosadmin' using htpasswd

The cgi.cmd has the following :

authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin

Inside the 'rw' directory is the file nagios.cmd , owned by nagios with
group-ownership nagiocmd
The file is zero size and has permissions prw-rw----

Could someone please help me resolve this issue or determine what further
information I need to supply to problem-solve
