The directory /etc/nagios does not exist (should it? documentation does
not indicate such). The nagios.cfg file is located in the
/usr/local/nagios/etc directory. Within that directory the nagios.cfg
file the nagios_user=nagios and nagios_group=nagios are specified.
Within the ../etc/htpasswd.user I have each user and encrypted password.
For testing purposes, I just copied the /usr/local/nagios directory to
/etc. That had no effect. No effect even after restarting nagios.
I am still having the problem and confused.
