Which username do you see in the apache logs? Is it identical to the name
used with nagios? And I do not mean Identical but identical.
(Windows users tend to forget that case-sensitive is the norm and not the
exception. ;-)

Do you use the same contact for host and services on that host? Do you
mind showing a sample of your config?

It should be something like:

define host{
        use                             linux-counter-template
        host_name                       aleph.counter.li.org
        alias                           aleph.counter.li.org
        address                         158.38.152.241
        hostgroups                      linux-counter
        contact_groups                  linux-counter
        }

define service{
        use                             linux-counter-template
        host_name                       aleph.counter.li.org
        service_description             HTTP-lugww.counter.li.org
        check_command                   check_http_url!lugww.counter.li.org!/index.cms
        contact_groups                  linux-counter
        }

define contactgroup {
        contactgroup_name               linux-counter
        alias                           linux-counter
        members                         hvdkooij
        }

And I know this setup works as I have several users with rights restricted
to a few hosts only.
