it seems the rpmforge nagios package does not work out of the box if selinux is turned on. A log from someone complaining about it (the nagios cgis) not working:

I would like to make proper rules for this rpm but i have absolutely no clue about selinux and policies. Any hints what to read, where to start?
Yes, selinux is pretty complicated and I have no good experience of it myself. I always but it to permissive. I would love to add selinux capabilities to my packages, though I don't know how I can help you with it.
Please let me know if you have learned more and tell me what specific changes are required.
