Just to be clear, are you asking about enabling HTTPS connections to the
webserver that is used to present the Xymon pages?  Or enabling monitoring
probes of other servers that run HTTPS services?  All assume you mean the
latter.

How did you install Xymon?  Did you install from a package, or compile from
source code?  If the latter, then you probably need to re-compile Xymon so
that it can include support for OpenSSL.  Also, if you installed OpenSSL
from a package, make sure you have the "openssl-devel" package installed as
that is required for other programs to link against the OpenSSL libraries
at compile time.

I think the only binary that uses OpenSSL is xymonet, so you might be able
to get away with only replacing this binary.
