Authntication/NIS

[stan]

I am trying to get a Nagios installation in production. I have most of the
first phase of it working as desired, but the final hurdle to getting it
actually used is setting up authentication for the users.

Now, in a perfect world, I would as soon not have authentication turned on,
but the contractor i have doing the work tells me that Nagios will not work
without this. I have a mail machine that all of  my users do have accounts
on, and I would like to use it as an NIS master to allow the users to
re-use their existing credentials to access Nagios, and nagvis. 

Has anyone gotten this working? Any tips? We seem to be struggling to get
this working. At present the machine running Nagios will allow users to log
in to it using their NIS credentials, but we are struggling to get Apache to
understand how to check NIS for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
