Logged in as ? or Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.

file permissions should allow the web server process to write and nagios 
process to read.

But before the data i actually written to the cmd file, the authentication 
code checks to see if you are allowed to do so.  If you are logged in as 
"?" then by default you are not allowed to send commands.

If you want non-contacts to send commands, edit cgi.cfg and updated 
"authorized_for_*_commands"

You have to login and authenticate in the web interface before sending 
commands.
