I'm using the Nagios 1.2-3.1 Debian (unstable tree) package.  Having a weird
problem (prior version worked fine)...I've got /var/log/nagios/rw set up
as user nagios, group nagiocmd, sticky bit set on group ownership.  However,
when Nagios is restarted, it changes the group ownership of that directory
to nagios and then creates the nagios.cmd named pipe, so nagios.cmd is
owned by nagios and has group of nagios.  This breaks external commands.
Not sure where this needs to be fixed...do I need to change the group
that Nagios is running as in nagios.cfg?  Why is Nagios "helping" me in
this way?
Thanks.
