I didn't have any issues with installing Nagios XI on this particular distro. I installed CentOS, using the iso from the link you provided, and installed XI on it. So I am not really sure why you are having this issues, unless you did some mods to the system. Having said that, we recommend installing XI on a "clean" system, minimal install (no GUI, gnome, etc.). I would recommend reinstalling Nagios XI on a minimal install, clean CentOS system.

Hmm, OK. The only 'extras' installed were base, development tools and sys tools so no gui or gnome. We do use Puppet to harden our servers and set a few things, but haven't run into anything like this before. Guess I'll blow them away and try again.

This could very well be the problem. Does your puppet server push any configs relating to users, groups, /etc/shadow, selinux, or sudoers?
