[Xymon] Error when starting recently installed client

[Chris Short]

Both "configured" clients show up in my Ghost Clients list.

>From hosts.cfg:
10.1.5.179   host1.example.com
10.1.5.178   host2.example.com

>From Ghost Clients:
host1 10.1.5.179 host1.example.com 1:40
host2 10.1.5.178 host2.example.com 0:00

I have tried both short and fqdn in hosts.cfg. Doesn't seem to matter,
clients always appear as ghosts.
