[Xymon] how debug logfetch

[Jeremy Laidman]

My first thought was that the Xymon client has no permissions to read the
file.  But as it can read the directory, and the permissions reported on
the file allow world-read access, this theory is incorrect.

However, if you're running selinux, there might be a similar restriction.
 Try logging in as the Xymon user and running "md5sum" on the file to see
what happens.

Or, try using a different hash.
