After the restart from nagios he creates the nagios.cmd like this. prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Feb 7 17:11 nagios.cmd 2. The apache runs under nobody and if you follow the installation descriped on the "External Command File Permission" you add nobody to the nagiocmd group, and with the chown nagios.nagiocmd you give the rw-rights to the nagiocmd group. The apache can access the nagios/var/rw directory but he can't access the nagios.cmd, which is regenerated by a every restart of nagios, because nagios creates the nagios.cmd like above. 3. I make a chgrp nagios.nagios to the nagios/var/rw directory and added nobody back do the nagios group with usermod -G nagios nobody. 4. After every reboot nagios starts in the right way. ------ Armin On Fri, 2003-02-07 at 16:25, Marc Powell wrote: > Assuming that your apache installation runs as group 'nobody', what do > the permissions on the directories above /opt/nagios/var/rw look like? > If /opt/nagios were chmod 600, then the web server would not be able to > read rw, etc...
