nagios giving problem

[Dean Pentcheff]

Taking a stab at it, based on the first error message (no directory,
taking HOME=/), I think you may not have a "nagios" user on the new
system (or whatever username you chose for nagios).  That's the sort of
error I'd expect when there is no /etc/passwd entry for a user, since
that's where the users' HOME directory would normally be discovered by
the login procedure.

I wonder if the CGI errors similarly stem from something missing in the
user at the system level, so the CGI validation goes bad.

Hope that helps.
