I read it as the hosts.cfg CLASS: tag would always override anything the 
client sends.  From reading the code it appears that the data the client 
sends to the server is copied as-is into the "client" channel (i.e. the 
class supplied by the client isn't replaced).  This means that 
xymond_client sees the client's original class, not the one in 
hosts.cfg.  As far as I can tell, xymond_client doesn't read the CLASS: 
tag from hosts.cfg either, so I'm not sure how this was intended to work.
