Accessing Nagios for the first time

[Tim Tompson]

My nagios.conf:

## BEGIN APACHE CONFIG SNIPPET - NAGIOS.CONF

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">

   Options ExecCGI

   AllowOverride None

   Order allow,deny

   Allow from all

   AuthType Digest

   AuthName "Nagios Access"

   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/.digest_pw

   Require valid-user

</Directory>



Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">

   Options None

   AllowOverride None

   Order allow,deny

   Allow from all

   AuthType Digest

   AuthName "Nagios Access"

   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/.digest_pw

   Require valid-user

</Directory>

## END APACHE CONFIG SNIPPETS

I followed the instructions at:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/cgisecurity.html -- to secure my
install, and thats where I got the above .conf file.

Its set to "Allow from all", shouldn't that work?
