Need help setting up security

I am having troubles setting up Nagios security to achieve my companies
goals.  I have read the documentation and spent a considerable amount
of time trying to get it right but have not had success.

I wish to have the majority of the site accessible by anybody on our network
without the end user being prompted for a password.  When a user attempts
to execute one of the CGIs I wish to have the user prompted for their
username
and password if they are accessing one of the restricted CGIs (as specified
in
the cgi.conf file).

The problem I am having is that when I place a .htaccess file in the sbin
directory
all users are prompted for authentication even when they are just viewing
the
status.  If I remove this file, users are not prompted for authentication
and when
they access a cgi (like the cmd.cgi) they are denied access.

Can somebody please help me with this problem?

Thanks
-Jeff
