Document updating nagiosadmin password

[robottaway]

Hi,

So I think it would be prudent to document this somewhere as it was the first thing I needed to do after installation completed on my Trusty 14.04 server box. Would also be worthwhile to document that install location is /usr/local/nagios.

sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

Very happy with ease of install, thank you for sharing this!

cheers,
Rob

I'm glad you liked it :)

The readme file points to my blog where I explain this (though briefly):
http://networklore.com/ansible-install-nagios/

You can edit a variable file prior to installing which will create the htpasswd file. But perhaps you didn't find this playbook through my blog?

The /usr/local/nagios is the default for Nagios when installing from source. But where would you like to see this documented?

Hey a bit slow to respond, yes I see the variable now. I found this through Github :)

I reckon the README file in ansible/nagious-src is a good place to document such a thing, I would be happy to do so and submit a PR if you are ok with it.

After reading your blog post I wonder if a condensed set of instructions (from the post) could go into the README, just so the documentation and project coexist?
