Hi Michael.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes of course,.. I found it by now :)
And proposed then this: https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2785

I'll have a look, on whether one can set a PostgreSQL user to read only
for the DB,... can we add this then to some wiki or so?

Ok I guess I found it,.. there is a file:
app/modules/Cronks/config/cronks_misc.xml
where I can remove the user/passwd parameter (I've allowed access
unconditionally on loopback) and where I can replace the default
"/icinga/" path for CGI by "/icinga/classic/" what I use.

Now a problem remains... how can I do the same
within /etc/icinga-web/conf.d/ so that it's preserved on updates?

I tried a bit with just copying some XML out from the former,... but
apparently I did it wrong ;)

Ok... and what about these:
/var/cache/icinga/   (directory)
/var/cache/icinga/objects.cache
/var/cache/icinga/retention.dat
which are www-data:www-data owned in Debian as well as
/var/lib/icinga/rw/   (directory)
/var/lib/icinga/status.dat
which are nagios:www-data owned in Debian?

I guess status.dat is just used by CGI and similar to what is the DB for
icinga-web, right?
But then there are still some more left.


Thanks in advance,
Chris.
