Can not acknowledge problems.

[don mccallum]

Hello all,
I am running Nagios 2.01b on and everything is working perfectly, except
for my ability to acknowledge problems. The error I receive on the
Nagios console is "an error occurred while processing your command" and
in my error_log file I receive 

"user mccallum: authentication failure for "/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi":
Password Mismatch, referer: http://nagios.nemsys.com/side.html"

Here is the ll list of the sbin directory:

-rwxrwxrwt    1 nagios   nagios     145848 Jan  4 16:15 trends.cgi

I can however perform all the other commands using the "mccallum" login.
I can stop and start service and host checks etc.  It is only this one
feature that is giving me the password failure.  

My .htaccess file is as follows:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

And mccallum:hash is the only entry in
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users.


Authentication is setup in my cgi.cfg but I do not see a line item that
defines access to acknowledge items.  All other items are set for
mccallum to have access.

Any clues would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
-Don
