nagios.cmd ... "Sorry, you are not authorized..." -- Argh!

[Jon Lyons]

Umm....Did you edit the cfg.cgi file and give nagiosadmin permission? Sorry the drugs have kicked in so my brain is messed... :)

I can't figure out why I can't do things like add comments, disable service
checks, schedule downtime etc.

I've set myself up as nagiosadmin, right out of the box. I can see and do
everything else...

Just for fun, I've set up other hosts, with different contact names and then
setup different usernames (doing basic auth, using Apache)... and that works
as documented.

What's the trick? I've already read: nagios/docs/commandfile.html.

Thanks,
Olivier

PS.
I've noticed that when I login, it says logged in as 'nagiosadmin' (which is
correct). But, when I hit "commit" to disable a service check, for example,
the "Sorry" page indicates logged in as ?.
