is there a way to pass contact username thru url to status.cgi for authentication?

[dave stern - e-mail.pluribus.unum]

Yes
http://nagiosuser:nagiospassword@nagioshost.domain
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi\?host=server...

Note the backslash before the question mark.

BTW, I think IE blocks this for what MicroSloth calls "security reasons"
