[Xymon] [External] Xymon configs

[IO Support]

*Issue 1.*  Credentials for Xymon Server's administrative web pages is 
controlled by the web server software that's running on your Xymon 
Server box.  I use Apache.  To accomplish your requirement you first 
need to configure your web server to look for .htaccess and .htpasswd 
files.  If those files exist then it requires a user/pass to be entered 
in order for the folder to be accessible.  Creating those files is easy, 
and defining the credentials is also easy if you just need to make it 
private for yourself with a single user/pass.  But if you want to do 
more than a few users you're gonna want to step up to a more dynamic 
method of controlling the credentials because it can quickly get out of 
hand. The result is that you can make some content 'public' and some 
'private' because the content lives in password protected folders on 
your server.

Email me privately and I can assist you if you want.


*Issue 2.*  First we need to determine what sort of issue it is.  
Server, Client, or Network.

- Does the Server successfully receive any other Client's data?
- Are the Client systems remote or local on the Server's IP network?
- What OS are the new Client systems?
- How did you install the 'xymon-client' on the new Client systems?
- When you installed the 'xymon-client' were you at a console, SSH'd in, 
or in a GUI?

Your answers to these questions will point us to a resolution.
