Good.  I'm assuming you commented out "DISABLED" in the [msgcache] section
of clientlaunch.cfg and not somewhere else.  At that stage, you should be
able to connect from the Xymon server to the client on port 1984 (eg with
"telnet client.host.name 1984", perhaps sending it a "pullclient" command
also).  If this works, then the msgcache process is most likely ready for
use.

On the server, I've added "pulldata" to the entry in etc/hosts.cfg, edited

Again, "DISABLED" in the [xymonfetch] section?

This is the default, so you can leave out the "--server=127.0.0.1" if you
want.

Which log?

This implies that the logs are on the Xymon server (10.40.1.39?), but the
xymond daemon is not running, or at least not on port 1984.  Make sure you
can do "telnet 10.40.1.39 1984" on the Xymon server.

Ah, this message only comes from xymonfetch.  So it looks like xymonfetch
is unable to send messages into xymond on port 1984.
