thank you guys!
yeah file permission setting is completely out of the equation since everyone has root here. that's out of my control. but what is under my control is making sure script is inoperable unless the proper password is written.
i'm thinking, if i can grab a line from the shadow file, insert it in the nagios password file htpasswd.users and have it actually work, then i need to figure out how Nagios is doing it. surely, if nagios can do it, i can.

nagios::plugin::config
Nagios::Plugin::Config(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Nagios::Plugin::Config(3pm)
NAME
Nagios::Plugin::Config - read nagios plugin .ini style config files
SYNOPSIS
# Read given nagios plugin config file
$Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read( '/etc/nagios/plugins.ini' );
# Search for and read default nagios plugin config file
$Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read();
# Access sections and properties (returns scalars or arrayrefs)
$rootproperty = $Config->{_}->{rootproperty};
$one = $Config->{section}->{one};
$Foo = $Config->{section}->{Foo};
DESCRIPTION
Nagios::Plugin::Config is a subclass of the excellent Config::Tiny, with the following changes:
o Repeated keys are allowed within sections, returning lists instead of scalars
o Write functionality has been removed i.e. access is read only
o Nagios::Plugin::Config searches for a default nagios plugins file if no explicit filename is given to "read()". The current standard
locations checked are:
/etc/nagios/plugins.ini
/usr/local/nagios/etc/plugins.ini
/usr/local/etc/nagios /etc/opt/nagios/plugins.ini
/etc/nagios-plugins.ini
/usr/local/etc/nagios-plugins.ini
/etc/opt/nagios-plugins.ini
To use a custom location, set a "NAGIOS_CONFIG_PATH" environment variable to the set of directories that should be checked. The first
"plugins.ini" or "nagios-plugins.ini" file found will be used.
