	    If you're having trouble with a specific
workstation/browser,  it could be the browser somehow corrupting the
credentials.

		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

share
		drwxrwxr-x   4 nagios   nagiocmd     4.0k Mar 27 12:51

		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.
