Mixed User Authentification

Howdy fellow Nagiosites,

I am quite new to Nagios, and whilst I have managed to get it compiled and
running, and now monitoring some 30 odd hosts and 90 odd services, am
looking to push it out of my development environment and into the wider
corporate community.

At the moment, it's running 'use_authentication=0' as the box is
unaccessible outside of my subnet. Now that I've gotten it working, I wish
to change this, but am having some difficulty in setting up authentification
in a manner I wish. In essence, I wish simular "no login" access to view all
informatoin within Nagios, but any access to modify nagios (ie: establish
ad-hoc downtime window, or to acknowledge a fault) will require the user to
login.

Is this possible, or am I looking at creating a "guest/guest" account and
make all users login to view the data?

Oh, and in case anyone thinks I'm crazy .. this all sits within an
environment that cannot be accessed by the outside world - firewall and
routing be blessed.

Regards,

Mark Limburg
