I tried that (setting a group in .htaccess and only certain users  
into that group), and it worked, but I didn't like the user  
experience (Apache gives another login panel, rather than directing  
to an error page. User would be thinking: why am I given another  
login panel? I'm already logged in!)

This proposed patch would but the access rights into Nagios, rather  
than into your web server.
