[Xymon] Ghost client problems

[Steven Carr]

Conn is checked from the server side, not the client side. It sounds like
you haven't told the client where to connect to. Where did you configure
the xymon server IP address?

I'd seriously suggest using a prebuilt RPM (search the archives for
this/last month, there are a few posts), it puts various config files in
/etc that are easier to diagnose configuration issues with than hand
compiled installs.
