No username login

Hi,

I have tested this and can confirm this works well. Make sure you change
cgi.cfg appropriately.

Thanks Marc, was using this idea elsewhere, but the thread inspired me
to apply to nagios stuff.

(following is a debian specific config, but you get the idea.)

root at noc:~# cat /etc/nagios/apache.conf

# BEGIN FOR NAGIOS
# Bug 160681 and 162986 say that the ScriptAlias should be
#       /cgi-bin/nagios
# but some reports, 164925, (and the default config) say
# that it should be
#       /nagios/cgi-bin
# Anyone having problems with this, PLEASE dig deeper in WHY
# it won't work for you...
#
# I'm enabling BOTH, just to be sure!
