Do you have SELinux enabled? Is it blocking read access? The default SELinux policy typically only affects the CGI's but you may have a more restrictive policy enforced. Also, are the permissions on /usr/local/nagios/etc/ and above 755 or set so that the nagios user has read/execute access? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
