-====== Install Nagios On Slackware ====== 
  
-(Slackware 13.37) \\ 
- 
-  - Create the nagios group and user: <code> 
-# groupadd -g 213 nagios 
-# useradd -u 213 -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g nagios nagios 
-</code> 
-   - Add the 'apache' user to the 'nagios' group, so that it can write to the ''/var/nagios/rw'' directory ('a' option prevents the user to be removed from other groups, the member of which he is already): <code> 
-# usermod -aG nagios apache 
-</code> 
-  - Install the Nagios::Plugin Perl module: <code> 
-     cpan -i Nagios::Plugin 
-</code> 
-  - Use [[http://sbopkg.org/|sbopkg]] or install the individual packages using scripts from [[http://slackbuilds.org/|SlackBuilds.org]], and install the following in this order: 
-    * RRDTool 
-    * nagios (currently, the package which can be built using a [[http://slackbuilds.org/network/nagios/ | SlackBuilds.org script]] is nagios-3.3.1) 
-    * nagios-plugin package 
-    * nagios-graphing 
-  - Edit ''/etc/nagios/nagios.conf'' and turn off the logging: <code>

-</code> 
-  - Edit ''/etc/httpd/http.conf'' <code>

-     </IfModule> 
-TO: 
-     <IfModule dir_module>

-CHANGE: 
-     # Uncomment the following line to enable PHP:

-</code> 
-  - Set the password for //nagiosadmin// : <code> 
-# htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin 
-</code> 
-  - (Not sure if this is necessary but, leaving it in until I can test) \\ Make sure nagios starts at boot and start/restart nagios: 
-    - Edit ''/etc/rc.d/rc.local'' and add: <code> 
-# Start nagios: 
-if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios ]; then 
-  echo "Starting nagios..." 
-  /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios start 
-fi 
-</code> 
-    - Edit ''/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown'' (you may have to create this file if it does not exist, and make it executable) and add: <code> 
-# Stop nagios: 
-if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios ]; then 
-  echo "Stopping nagios..." 
-  /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios stop 
-fi 
-</code> 
-  - Make rc.nagios executable: <code> 
-# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios 
-</code> 
-  - Start nagios: <code> 
-# /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios restart 
-</code> 
- 
-====== Check That Nagios Is Running ====== 
- 
-Goto **http://YOUR_MACHINE/nagios/** and you should see Nagios working.

-# htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users sue 
-</code> 
-  - Edit ''/etc/nagios/cgi.cfg'' and add the user(s) too: <code> 
-authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,bob,sue 
-authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,bob,sue 
-</code> (or add "''*''" to allow all authenticated users)
