nagios external command error

[Guillermo Padilla]

At this point I've disabled selinux and I'm still getting the same
error.  I've re-ran the external command instructions for v 1.0 and for
some reason I still receive an external command error.  The way I've
been manually fixing this problem is by chmodin nagios.cmd to 777.  But
there has to bee something causing nagiocmd group not to act the way it
should.

Here is a snippet of the nagios var dir

drwxrwxrwx  2 nagios nagios    4096 Jul 11 00:00 archives
-rwxrwxrwx  1 nagios nagios   32762 Jul 12 10:12 status.sav
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios       6 Jul 12 10:39 nagios.lock
drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios nagiocmd  4096 Jul 12 10:39 rw
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios       0 Jul 12 10:39 downtime.log

Agreed - the whole SELINUX situation seems to be folks running settings 
without understanding implications.

Should probably also add a FAQ item.
