This brings up a question for me.  On the 'rw' directory, I always just
made the owner apache:apache.  If I issue a command via the web page,
the file that gets created is going to be written by apache, not nagios.

This says to do it a different way
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html

Would I run into problems keeping the web server and nagios seperate?
Nagios isn't the only website running so I figured it's better to keep
the two seperate.
