Thanks for the quick response.  I think I'll leave things as they are for
the time being, rather than have a one-off version of Nagios which will just
create problems when I need to upgrade.  We're not giving this guy access to
the NagMIN interface, so the amount of damage he can do is limited to the
machines he's a contact for.
