FreeBSD could not get group entry for Nagios

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

For info - this warning does not prevent Nagios from starting up - 
however if you add a group called "nagios" it goes away.
Perhaps there's a bug in this/other versions where it checks for the 
specific group called "nagios" and not the one used in the configure 
script - or is this a "feature?" ;)
