[Xymon] xymon-rclient.sh

[Kris Springer]

I've modified a few things but haven't gotten any successful results.  
See below.

My hosts.cfg.  I've tried (freebsd) and also (linux) with the same 
failed results.
1.2.3.4  freenas.domain.com        # trace ssh "RCLIENT:cmd(ssh -T -i 
/home/xymon/.ssh/xymon-rclient root@%{H}),ostype(freebsd)"

Log results.

Signature - Kris I can enter the following at command line and get 
positive result without a password being requested from the client.
#su xymon
# ssh -T -i /home/xymon/.ssh/xymon-rclient root at freenas.domain.com 
<mailto:root at freenas.mydomainname.com> uname -n

Thank you.
