+External Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Nagios 2 is not configured to look for external commands in the
+default configuration as a security feature. To enable external
+commands, use the instructions given at
+http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html, replacing
+/usr/local/nagios/var/rw with /var/lib/nagios2/rw and nobody with
+www-data. Then set check_external_commands=1 in
+/etc/nagios2/nagios.cfg.
+
+These commands will set up the permissions properly for a nagios 2
+release candidate. Please verify with the web page quoted above before
+trying.
