Nagios Usermanagement

hello,

I got a question on the nagius user-management. As described you can assign 
contactgroups to hostgroups, so that just persons added to that contactgroup 
can view information on hosts of this hostgroup (using 
contact_groups "myhostgroup" in hostgroups.cfg).

This doesn't realy work properly in our installation as I am still allowed as 
ClientAdmin to view the services of Server-Machines, which are in the group 
servers and as their contactgroup is "server-admins" and not "win-admins".

When I watch the "Host Detail" at the nagios webinterface I can just see the 
windows-clients and in all other related pages like "Status Summary" 
and "Status Overview" aso... , but in the "Service Detail" I can view all 
services for all hosts.

When I click on the "host"(-name) of the hosts, that I shouldn't be allowed to 
view, I get an access violation like "It appears as though you do not have 
permission to view information for this host..." and so on, but when I click on 
the service (in this case "Ping" for testing), I can access the "service state 
information" which also contains a lot of information on the host (server).

I don't think that this should be possible! How can I avoid getting this bug? I 
just want the nagios users to be able to view machines they are related to in 
the webinterface.

regards
   Florian Beese
