Hi Jeff,



thanks for your answer.



yes this is one possibility that i already used in the past. It=

works fine but i know that there are several other users out there=

which would be happy if this feater would exist by default.



I dont like to modify the nagios sources cause of consistency purposes=

in large environments.



on the logic side its a disagreement to use an authentication method=

for each user and allow them to change a user name in this form.



Maybe can Ethan have a look at this? ;-)



cheers,



Lukas
