Is it possible to set /etc/nagios as 774 ?

Hello

For security hardening, we have disabled root login thru SSH for our Nagios server.

The thing is that /etc/nagios is current set as:

drwxr-xr-- 4 root nagios

Which is I believe a 754

The easiest solution would be set to 774 and add the user to the nagios group BUT is this possible (what possible issues would this cause)? What implications (besides obviously allowing the entire group write) would this have?

Thanks
