This is exactly what we need, and the best way I have seen (so far) to
implement it. In particular it has backwards compatibility and does
not involve an additional directive. Much simpler to do it via groups
rather than at a per-user level, and much more maintainable.
This is the way I'd like to see it implemented in the official tree,
maybe with a nagios.cfg option to allow you to set the default to be :rw
or :r (so that once you've fully implemented things you can change
default to be :r, best to default to the lower level)
