We do this by defining the service account as a virtual user and
realizing/overriding when necessary. For your example:
@user { "apache":
uid => 48,
gid => 48,
groups => "apache",
}
Then in your nagios module:
Realize(User["apache"])
User["apache"] { groups +> "nagios" }
Don't forget to realize it in your apache module too. :)
