CGI permissions make me mad!

I have set up a new test server and made the permissions as wide open as
possible. I still get a cgi error:
"It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the hosts you requested..."
1. All cgi files in /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi are 0755 owned by
nagios:apache.
2. My cgi.cfg looks like this:
main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share
url_html_path=/nagios
show_context_help=0
use_authentication=0
default_user_name=guest
authorized_for_system_information=*
authorized_for_configuration_information=*
authorized_for_system_commands=*
authorized_for_all_services=*
authorized_for_all_hosts=*
authorized_for_all_service_commands=*
3. My httpd Include file for nagios (/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf) looks
like this:
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi/
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi/>
Options ExecCGI
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/share/>
Options None
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Directory>
4. The web page shows me logged in as 'guest'.

Correction...should have read mod_auth.so

Have you checked out your webserver, since you did a resinstall of
everything. If mod_auto.so is not loaded, you will not be able to
authorize, also check all other web server switches that may affect this
item. Problem might not be Nagios at all, I have never had a problem on
Red Hat or Sun Solaris 6,8 or 9 if one sets the Apache web server conf
file up correctly, and the permissions on Nagios per the docs.

While not ideal, have you tried opening up permissions on things?
a `chmod -R 777 /path/to/cgis /path/to/nagios` isn't something you'd
want to leave live, but it'll at least "fix" the problem enough to let
you know if it's a file permissions problem
