i'm logged in as nagiosadmin and i have that username in all
my cgi's. I have the sameissue, can't schedule downtime or issue
external commands with the same error. I'm running nagios 2.4

look at
your /usr/local/nagios/sbin directory and check a) file permissions are
correct and also whether your .htaccess authrization file is present.
This error
is generally caused by not correctly using .htaccess and also not
configuring apache properly - check your httpd.conf is correctly
configured

I am
having real difficulty getting external commands to work and don't full
understand what's going wrong, despite having RTFMing several times.
As an example, I log in to the web interface as nagiosadmin via basic
apache auth successfully as usual. I go to "comments" in the left hand
pane and enter one for a host but when I click submit, I get the error:
"Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit
the specified command.
Read
the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and
authorization in the CGIs for more information.
Return from whence you came"
As far as I can tell, I have all the perms set right according to the
docs:
cgi.cfg
use_authentication=1
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin
nagios.cfg
command_file=/var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
check_external_commands=1
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external
# command file as often as possible.
command_check_interval=-1
ll /var/nagios/ | grep rw/
drwxrws--- 2 nagios apache 4096 Aug 1 13:28 rw/
ll /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios apache 0 Aug 1 13:28 /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd|
The apache process is run by the apache user, a member of the apache
group, so has full perms to the directory and the pipe file nagios.cmd.
Nagios is run by nagios who is also a member of the apache group.
This all looks as it should be according to the docs as far as I can
see.
What am
I missing?

I think quite a lot of people have trouble with this but a lot give up
or are satisfied that the main bit is working and don't bother with
this...
does anybody have this working and if so could you post your configs so
I can see anything you have different to me?
are external commands generally broken or is there something missing in
the docs/our configs/our brains?
I'm using Version 1.4.1
