Nagios3-CVS Patch - Small Bug in config.c with temp_path not available

[Hendrik Baecker]

Hi List,
hi Ethan,

one member of the German Nagios Portal mentioned Problems resulting in
"No Output returns from Plugin" if the temp_path directive direct to a
non existing directory.

In my opinion it would be the best to check the temp_path while config
parsing, cause the temp_path is the single point of getting outputs from
the plugins.

I wrote a small patch to check if nagios would be able to open the
directory, but until now not to check if it would be writeable by the
nagios user. AFAIK there should be one or two more variables like the
structure stat to check the uid/gid of the directory.

Please have a look at the patch.

Maybe it would be better to test the opendir() after checking for the
trailing "/" but I'm not sure.

Kind regards,

Hendrik
