[Xymon] client LOG check

[Vernon Everett]

Check there is an entry
log:/var/log/messages:10240
under an appropriate category in client-local.cfg on the server.

Also check that /var/log/messages is readable by the client user.
>From memory, the messages file is owned by root, and is only set to read by
owner only by default.
Correcting this problem is left as an exercise for the reader.

Cheers
