interesting.  i'll have to look into why it doesn't prompt for the
password a second time, but won't have time for the next week or so.

in the meantime, be aware that you can also edit
/etc/dbconfig-common/nagios-mysql.conf, which is where the configuration
information is stored.  or, you can edit the nagios configuration
manually of course, but... that would be ruining all the fun of
an automatic system :)
