There's one problem with this approach;
The users in cgi.cfg don't have to be contacts. They only have to be able
to log in to Nagios.

With that in light, I wonder what happens when eu-admins is both a user
(from the apache view of things) as well as a contactgroup, but not a
contact. That's one of the things that absolutely has to keep working,
or a lot of people's setups will break.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
