nagios.cmd: who else needs to CHMOD after Restarts? (Mike McLure)

[Patrick Amirian]

Me but that's because my apache and nagios do not have the same
user/group.

Next time I'll compile nagios, I'll compile it with user/group nobody or
whatever that apaches runs as.

Mike: 

The problem you see is that you cannot issue commands to nagios from the
web
interface (you get "there was an error processing your command. Go back
from
whence you came."). I am guessing but any writes to cgi.cmd from cmd.cgi
are
failing permissions. Is this an issue with the user/group I compiled
with?
Does the nagiosadmin user have to be a member of the nagios group
locally?
We are using "nagios" as the compiled user and "nagiosadmin" as the cgi
user. 

I realize we opened that file up to everyone but it was the quick fix
while
we tried to figure out what the issue really was/is.
