Description Alfred Glanzer 2006-01-26 18:35:13 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

Description of problem:
The post install script uses the usermod command to add nagios to the apache group. This is done without the -a switch, so this command deletes all other group-settings for apache (and nagios if applicable) !!!!!
This caused my webserver (apache) to stop functioning correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nagios-1.3-14.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install or upgrade nagios
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  Apache groupsettings were destroyed

Expected Results:  Use the -a switch with the usermod command to add in stead of replace and delete.
