Advanced authentication

[Allan Clark]

Hi Dustin;

Be reminded that if you use this method (and it's what I used) then you need
to remember to use a wildcard (*) in your /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg to give all
who can see the CGI access via Apache the access to do it.  Otherwise,
Apache verifies their user/pass, but the Nagios CGI denies them.
