Authentication problems for accessing CGI

[Zac]

Please verify that your stanza for the cgi-bin dir in your apache
httpd.conf looks similar to this:

<Directory /pathto/nagios/sbin/>
    AllowOverride AuthConfig       
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Also verify that the user that apache is running as is in the same
group as the nagios user if you are recieving this message when trying
to write to the external command file.  Hope this helps.
