I have mon running and alerting properly; mon.cgi is also running, and I initially configured the auth.cf file to allow everything. I had full change capability from mon.cgi. However, when I try to restrict things in auth.cf, the authentication does not work at all when I try to make a change for either authtype = userfile or authtype = getpwnam. For the former, I created userfile with the format name:crypt_passwd on each line. When I log in to mon.cgi and attempt to change something, the following error pops up:
Could not successfully execute command ... with arguments ... 520 command could not be executed (perhaps you don't have permissions in auth.cf?) The same thing happens when I log on to a valid account on the machine for authtype = getpwnam. Also, what is the authdir for in the mon.cf config file? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Allyn
