[Xymon] Acknowledgment Authentication

[Root, Paul]

You would remove the auth stuff out of the Apache config that came from the xymon-apache.conf file.

However, I wouldn't think that would be a good thing to do. You lose any logging trail of who turned off an alarm.

Alerts would get lost and not dealt with.

At the very least, you should make a common user for people to log into to acknowledge and disable. That way you'll get the IP address of the person that did the ack/disable.

Forgive me for asking what is probably a simple question, but Unix is not my major skill set.  How does one turn off authentication for acknowledging alerts?
