Modification of Nagios Documentation

[Horvath Tamas]

Hi!

In the latest documentation there is a suggestion to use .htaccess files
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html).

According to Apache2 documentation
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html#when): "In general,
you should never use .htaccess files unless you don't have access to the
main server configuration file."

I suggest to notice it in the documentation, because if someone is going to
install Nagios to a dedicated computer, he should not use .htacces (and pay
the performance penalty because o fit).

He just has to put something like this to his httpd.conf or equialent:


ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>"

Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Thanks,
	Tamas!
