[Xymon] xymon 4.3.17 central mode SVCS service status text inaccurate

[Rob Robertson]

Yes, I agree. I've seen a few reports on this on the internet, even several versions back. Odd that it hasn't been fixed.

I guess I will forget about central mode and go back to maintaining the win client configs locally.

I suspect it is an issue in the way the Xymon is handling data for Windows services.
