create a command grp like in the quickstart guides iirc. e.g. nagiocmd

$ chmod 775 nagios/var/rw
$ chown nagios:nagiocmd nagios/var/rw
$ chmod g+s nagios/var/rw

sticky bit for inheriting the permissions to files created below. if 
somebody tells you to change permissions only on nagios.cmd in var/rw/ 
this is only true as long as the core is running. nagios.cmd will be 
deleted/unlinked during core shutdown.

also make sure you have put apache user into nagiocmd group. then it 
will have the permissions to write the nagios.cmd command file and it 
should work properly.

Kind regards,
Michael
