you have to edit the appropriate .c files and then recompile the cgis 
out of them. since this a generic box, it's only defined once.

$ grep -r display_info_table *

points to cgi/cgiutils.c

Within this function you will see a bunch of html code within printf 
calls. There you can edit/add your preferred line.

e.g. adding below

         if(current_authdata!=NULL)
                 printf("Logged in as 
<i>%s</i><BR>\n",(!strcmp(current_authdata->username,""))?"?":current_authdata->username);

this

         printf("<i><font color=red>beware of the nagios root, don't 
change anything!</font></i><BR>\n");

After that, run make clean && make cgis && sudo make install-cgis

Should do the trick ;-)

Kind regards,
Michael
