Re: [xymon] Linux client broken output

Hi Henrik, 

Thanks for your quick answer! 

We are using Xymon version "4.3.0-beta2 ". 

Are you sure it is a server-side problem? It only happens on this environment. On another environment we've exactly the same server with same OS and Xymon version where everything works fine. However the clients are different there, they are compiled for Solaris 9 and 10. 

So you suggest to compile and install the RC1 version on our Solaris servers? 
Do you know when the final/stable version will be available online? 

Thanks a lot! 

Vriendelijke groeten, 
Kind regards, 

Giel Boes

You don't mention what version of Xymon you are running on the Xymon server, 
but I'll assume it is one of the 4.2.x releases. 

There is a known bug in the Xymon 4.2.x server that causes this behaviour. 
It is solved in the current 4.3.0 test-versions (the latest being the 
4.3.0-RC1 that was made available a few days ago). It is a server-side 
problem, nothing to do with your Xymon clients.
