Unable to log in to Nagios

[Martin Melin]

The line:

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

should be exactly that. htpasswd is not a typo of htpassword ;)

As you can see from your ls output, your htpasswd.users file is
actually called htpasswORd.users - if you rename the file, you should
be good to go.

Martin Melin
