Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your help in this matter and say

that AFAIK the PNGs are not the culprits; browsing PNGs like 
histogram.png with does not prompt for a plugin download (and the image 
is rendered)

A packet trace shows no sign of reqests for 'unusual' objects, nor does 
the web server access log.

I cannot see anything in the CGI source (displayed by the browser) that 
looks bad.

It is not all the CGIs but only some of them including the

. status.cgi
. tac.cgi

but not the extinfo.cgi.

Got it finally, it's the AUDIO plugin

  0.000000 PC09011.aipo.gov.au -> squid.aipo.gov.au HTTP GET 
http://cgi.netscape.com/cgi-bin/plugins/get_plugin.cgi?mimetype
=audio/x-wav HTTP/1.0


Disabling sounds should fix it.

So either,

1 Don't use a 4.x Nav browser with Nagios

2 Use a 4.x Nav browser with Nagios after you either

  - disable sounds in Nagios.Cfg

  - install the plugin


Opera and other contemporary browsers (eg Mozilla, but I hate its memory 
demands) are fine (FreeBSD users have less choice in this regard).

Yours sincerely.
