<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

which, if you installed via RPM, should be in /usr/share/nagios. That will
cause you to get authenticated first thing when you access the nagios main
page. After that, if things still don't work, make sure your user (nagios in
this case) has permissions to use commands, etc. as defined in cgi.cfg. Also,
as Tonni stated, be sure the permissions on your cmd file are correct to allow
your web server process to write to the file.<br>
