Error: Could not open command file'/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update!

nagios group will not work? I've looked at my httpd.conf for the user
it's running as and it's as follows. 

User nobody
Group #-1

The directory containing the cmd file must be group-owned by the
same group as the webserver. That way the nagios.cmd file will
be created as group-owned by the webserver and it'll be able to
write to it.
