I set the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw directory to 777 and it works fine... Obviously i don't want to have to do that. So for some reason httpd either isn't executing the cgi script as nobody... or the nagiocmd group that has nobody in it isn't working right... I can get external command to work if I do the following... [root@gob rw]# chmod 777 . [root@gob rw]# chmod g+s .

Should I recompile with some debugging options or something to figure out what cmd.cgi is having a problem with? I just noticed a slight difference between before the Hard reset of apache and now... I am getting a different error in the browser... it's not complaining about the "stat" failing, it's complaining about not being able to open the file.... Still doesn't make sense to me, i've been staring at these permissions for a couple days now, and I don't understand why it wouldn't work.
