Highly Unusual Bug

[Russell Scibetti]

I was just trying to view the CGIs for a particular Nagios instance, 
when I got the error message that I was not authorized to view this 
infomation.  I couldn't view any status data.  This has never happened 
before, and I knew that the cgi.cfg was configured to allow me in.  I 
tried other logins, and every user defined in cgi.cfg could log in but 
couldn't see any data.

The error was actually due to an error in the checkcommands.cfg.  I had 
edited that config file without restarting Nagios, and there was a 
syntax error.  Once I fixed it and hup'd Nagios, I had full access again.

My question, though, is why would this have the affect of making Nagios 
think that the user didn't have viewing permissions?
