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.
