[Xymon] [External] Re: Errors after upgrade to 4.3.29

Hmm. This seems very strange. Are these hosts visible like normal in 
generated status pages, and via query to xymond from the command line? 
Based on your exclusions there, I believe the only test you wanted to 
have present was the resulting 'sslcert'?

I just tested a descending directory structure and confirmed that 
something like "directory /etc/xymon/hosts.d/" should read into 
subdirectories properly.

Would you mind providing some xymond debug (-USR2) output during a 
hostfile reload or startup? It should list each file as it's reading it in.
