Authentication Boggle REMOTE_USER

[Shawn McCool]

I made a test PHP script  test.php  and did  print "-->" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'];

I did this on another machine of mine and it functioned perfectly.  However on this one it is returning
nothing.  Does anyone know what may keep the environment variable REMOTE_USER from being
set properly after a successful authentication?

  I'm running Suse 7.0
  My httpd.conf is set up as follows

  ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
  <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
      AllowOverride AuthConfig
      Options ExecCGI
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  </Directory>

  Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
  <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
      Options None
      AllowOverride AuthConfig
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  </Directory>

  my .htaccess in my /usr/local/nagios/share is

  AuthName "Nagios Access"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.pwd
  require valid-user


  My password file seems to be reading right, as when i go to http://mydomain.com/nagios/index.html
  it prompts me for password, and I can successfully authenticate.  However, in the Tactical Monitoring Overview (in the upper left grey box) it shows:

  Logged in as ?

  My cgi.cfg has

  use_authentication=1

  And all of the authorized_for_xxxxx are set to the appropriate user.

  I am seeing nothing awry in neither my access_log nor my error_log.

  I am running apache 1.3.27 and Nagios 1.0 with Nagios Plugins 1.3.0

  My Nagios dir structure looks like this: 

  drwxrwxr-x   2 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 26 08:57 bin
  drwxrwxr-x   2 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 27 12:49 etc
  drwx------   2 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 27 12:42 libexec
  drwxrwxr-x   2 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 26 09:13 sbin
  drwxrwxr-x   8 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 27 12:49 share
  drwxrwxr-x   4 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 27 12:51 var



  Where nagiocmd is a group which has both the nagios user and the user my apache runs as.

  If I look at any CGI other than tactical overview I get this message

  It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested...
  If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI
  and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.


  I am not sure what is happening incorrectly in my authentication.
