Yes, monit reads the configuration from file and it requires strict
permissions on this file so it is readable only by owner.
I think it could be good to introduce new command line options which
will allow to specify username, password and port so any local user
can run monit CLI without need to access the configuration file.

I have done so but when I become the user I wish to use to invoke
monit I get an error indicating:
'monit: The control file '/etc/monitrc' must be owned by you.'
It /etc/monitrc is owned by root, are all non-root users prohibited
from invoking any monit command from the command-line?

Subject: Re: httpd authentication question
No,
but if you need localhost access for monit CLI commands (such as
status, start, stop, etc.), then you can add "allow <user>:<password>"
to monitrc and monit CLI will read and use the credentials
automatically when talking to monit httpd.

Hello,
Is it possible to configure monit's HTTPD in such a way as to allow
localhost unauthenticated access while still forcing other host to
authenticate via PAM?
