The perms on var run are root:root 755, these are the same perms which 
/var/run has on my nagios 1.2 server.

Nagios user does not have permission to run the Nagios binary, it's 
executed as root at which time Nagios drops it's privileges, from 
command line I am running it as root... when Nagios init script is run 
it *SHOULD* start Nagios, write the lock, chown things to nagios:nagios 
where needed and drop it's privileges, it isn't doing so at this time...

Regardless even as root running the nagios -d flag is not working, and 
that is nagios daemon specific.
