permissions on nagios.cmd

[Julie]

Never mind - it was one last setting on SElinux..

SELinux is preventing cmd.cgi (httpd_sys_script_t) "getattr" to
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

I added a change to SELinux policy and it is working now... I needed to add
it for the file, not just the folder..

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

thanks..
