nagios.cmd Permissions and External Commands

[Joe Regular]

Permissions are set as follows:
drwxrwxr-x   4 nagios nagios  288 Jul  5 11:55 var
drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios nagioscmd   80 Jul  5 10:11 rw
prw-rw----  1 nagios nagioscmd   0 Jul  5 10:11 nagios.cmd

Does this look correct, or should the ~/var directory be "drwxrwxr-x   4 nagios nagioscmd  288 Jul  5 11:55 var"?

Make sure your rw directory and the nagios.cmd file have read write
permissions on them.  When I changed the permissions on that directory
and that file it started working, almost magicly :)

I seem to have run into a problem with Nagios to which I hope there is a
simple solution.  From what I can tell, I have followed the setup
instructions correctly and Nagios appears to be working with the
exception of external commands. 
 
 
When I try to schedule host downtime, I get the Sorry, but you are not
authorized to commit the specified command. error message.  I've since
read the authentication and authorization in the CGIs section of the
manual and the External Command File Permissions file but it's still
isn't working. 
 
 
Can anyone offer any advice into a solution to this problem?
