Attached is an updated patch that adds a 'default_permissions' option to
nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg that Steve Shipway suggested. From
sample-config/cgi.cfg.in:
# DEFAULT HOST/SERVICE PERMISSIONS
# This option contains a list of default permissions for hosts and
# services that will be used when permissions are not explicitly
# set on a host or service. When not defined, the default is all
# permissions (rwxn). Note: This option must be set the same in
# both cgi.cfg and nagios.cfg.
#default_permissions=rwxn
As you can see, the option needs to be in both config files although I
would prefer to have it only in nagios.cfg. It is needed in nagios.cfg
for base/notifications.c which has nothing to do with the cgi. If
someone knows how to combine the two, please let me know, but I suspect
that the cgi and main nagios programs are completely separate from each
other.
If anyone can do some testing I would appreciate it.
