Don't know where you got that from, but there is no 'su -l' (nore any 'su' at
all in the Debian GNU/Linux package!). I should know, I'm the official
maintainer for Debian GNU/Linux.

Where did you get your package? What version exactly? Something the Nagios
people cooked up? Then I'll shut up and let them fix it :)


Btw, Nagios 2:1.0 was uploaded to the main Debian GNU/Linux FTP archives about
an hour ago, it should be downloadable 'any minute now'...
