You're most welcome.

Why the source code of course!  ;-)

And for the answer you really wanted, the source code (lib/url.c) tells me
that Xymon first looks in $XYMONHOME/etc/netrc (no dot) and uses that file.
 If there's no file there, or of Xymon failed to open the file (eg
permission denied), then it looks for it in $HOME/.netrc (leading dot).  If
still no file opened, Xymon gives up.

So on your system, this would be /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/netrc, then (I
think) /usr/local/xymon/.netrc.
