Hiya,

$ grep -e www-data -e nagios /etc/group

(I had to add "nagios" to "Debian-exim" so it is able to run "mailq").
/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd is a fifo that is meant to be
written by the cmd.cgi CGI to give commands to be run to the
nagios server, such as reschedule a check.
Here the user running "cmd.cgi" (www-data) can't write to the
file because it doesn't have search permission to
/var/lib/nagios3 nor /var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd
Probably the best way to fix it is to change the permissions to:
drwxr-xr-x 5 nagios nagios 4096 2008-04-30 14:46 /var/lib/nagios3
drwxr-x--- 2 nagios nagios 4096 2008-05-01 16:43 /var/lib/nagios3/rw
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 2008-05-01 16:41
/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd
---x--s--- 1 www-data nagios 219692 2008-04-18 14:34
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3/cmd.cgi*
Normally, the cmd.cgi is protected by basic HTTP authentication.
