<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I can’t find what causes this. The status updates as it should for the Xymon server. We use fqdn in all config files and hosts.cfg, so it seems like this is somehow using the hostname in the OS (hostname should be “mon.domain.com”,
not “mon”). But I can’t find any processes or similar that are related to this. I have not been able to find any scripts that are setup wrong either. Are ghost clients logged somewhere?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It is a source-install on Debian Lenny.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Does anyone know what might cause this? It’s no major issue since all monitoring works correctly, but it’s annoying to have it there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
