BAM!!!

Works once I know the system was running SELINUX.
Why its always good idea to check the installed packages when you dont install the OS.

Thanks again for all the help when it came down to a system issue.

so just to test permission of nagios I chmod 777 -R the objects and private dir. The script still failed on the same objects and private/resources.cfg I dropped to the nagios user and ran nagios -v (nagios.cfg path), and the validation passes.
