Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

[Daniel Bareiro]

Hi!

I've update the Nagios version from 3.0b5 to 3.0.1 stable. But
re-scheduling a new check for a service I get:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'
for update!

The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be
incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions.

An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for
processing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# ll
total 0
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 2008-05-18 10:38 nagios.cmd
sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# id nagios
uid=1001(nagios) gid=1001(nagios) groups=1001(nagios),1002(nagcmd)
sparky:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw# id www-data
uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),1002(nagcmd)

The permissions are according to Ubuntu Quickstart. Changing the group
of nagios.cmd to nagcmd I get rid of the problem. But restarting Nagios,
the nagios.cmd permissions are reset to nagios:nagios. What can be the
problem?

Tnaks in advance.

Regards,
Daniel
