[Xymon] Extra column containing an access protocol (putty, telnet, mstsc)

[Larry Barber]

All those tests can be easily implemented, I believe. You can implement a
telnet check simply by placing a 'telnet' tag in the  machines entry in
your hosts.cfg file. Putty can implement several protocols, you probably
are using ssh to communicate with your *nix machine, placing an 'ssh' tag
in the hosts.cfg entry will create an ssh test for the host. Similarly for
Windows use 'rdp' (for Remote Desktop Protocol).

Thanks,
Larry Barber
