Cannot open command file for update

[Brian O'Mahony]

Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update!
The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.

I did however recently do a restore of the machine (I restored an old copy of the VM and then copied over the backup data).


When I change the permissions, next time I click commit, it goes back to being un-openable:

[root at nagios servers]# ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/r*

/usr/local/nagios/var/rw:
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 1024 Jul 14 12:40 .
drwxrwxrwx 6 nagios nagios 1024 Jul 14 12:42 ..
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios    0 Jul 14 12:40 nagios.cmd
