Install Help - Invaild User???

[Flak Magnet]

Try running "make install" as root.

The installation is likely (almost certainly) trying to create directorys and 
create files in paths that the nagios user can't, nor should that user be 
able to.

The "--with-nagios-group/user" options tells configure what user needs 
permission to the files that are installed as well as what user the process 
should run as, but root still needs to do the installation of the files.
