Logged in as ? or Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.

My nagios.cmd have enough permition to be read and written by nobody
(apache) and nagios itself

# ls -ld ~nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd 
-rw-rw----  1 nagios  nobody  0 May 30 23:33
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
# ls -ld ~nagios/var/rw/
drwsr-sr-x  2 nobody  nagios  512 May 30 23:33 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/
#

I loged in as "nagios"

It is only when I confirm an actual manual commmand it changes myself as
"Logged in as ?" and "Logged in as ? or Sorry, but you are not authorized to
commit the specified command."

at all other time it shows me "Logged in as nagios"

file permissions should allow the web server process to write and nagios 
process to read.

But before the data i actually written to the cmd file, the authentication 
code checks to see if you are allowed to do so.  If you are logged in as 
"?" then by default you are not allowed to send commands.

If you want non-contacts to send commands, edit cgi.cfg and updated 
"authorized_for_*_commands"

You have to login and authenticate in the web interface before sending 
commands.
