Clients know what file is the correct log file by looking in the file
logfetch.<hostname>.cfg in the tmp directory ($BBTMP).

A common problem is when a logfile is not readable by the xymon user.  On
some of my systems, I create a group called "logread" with the xymon user
in it, and set the logfile to be group-readable by logread.
