Sheduling downtime not allowed

I am able to use firefox, mozilla, and IE with no issues what so ever to
schedule downtime, comments etc. The biggest hurdle is/was getting
authentication, external commands, process monitoring and the command file
to work correctly.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Sheduling downtime not allowed


Hi,

I want to shedule the downtime within the browser mozilla on the 
nagioshomepage of our nagios-box

When I fill out the form and click on submit I get the following 
error-message:

Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command. Read the
section of the documentation that deals with authentication and 
authorization in the CGIs for more information.
Return from whence you came



I think I folowed the documentetion on these pages but it does not work:
- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html
- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configcgi.html
- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html

I did the following:

nagios runs as user "nagios" and group "nagios"
webserver apache runs at user "nobody" and group "wwwadmin"

rhe nagios user is member of the group wwwadmin and nagios
the nobody user is member of the group wwwadmin and nagios

nagios is installed at /usr/local/nagios

the directory /usr/local/nagios/var/rw contains the file nagios.cmd and has 
the following owners:

testrechner3 rw # ls -al
insgesamt 8
drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios wwwadmin 4096  7. Apr 19:46 .
drwxrwxr-x  4 nagios nagios   4096  7. Apr 19:53 ..
prw-rw----  1 nagios wwwadmin    0  7. Apr 19:46 nagios.cmd

Authorisazion is turned on and I run the webserver with ssl to access the
nagios-webtree.

Is there anybody who got this work?

Some addittion:
