Nagios 3 external commands problem

[Israel Brewster]

I apologize for asking what I had thought was a FAQ, but I can't seem  
to find the needed info now. At any rate, I just got finished updating  
my nagios install to version 3 (OpenBSD 4.2 OS), and aside from the  
lack of a decent status map (no one has any suggestions there?  
Really?) it's working. With the exception of external commands from  
the web interface. For some reason, whenever I attempt an external  
command from the web, I get the following error:

Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.
Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication  
and authorization in the CGIs for more information.
Return from whence you came

I have the following in my cgi.cfg file:

authorized_for_configuration_information=admin
authorized_for_system_commands=*

I actually don't want the "*" there,  but I stuck it in just to see if  
it fixed the issue. It didn't. I am authorized to the web server, as I  
got the login/password prompt, and nagios recognizes the fact in the  
little header on every page that says "logged in as". The /var/nagios/ 
rw/nagios.cmd file exists with permissions prw-rw----  1 _nagios  www,  
and my apache error logs show no errors when attempting to run the  
command. What am I missing? Thanks!
