[Xymon] What ID (root? xymon?) can display monitoring message?

[John Thurston]

Anyone who can open a network connection to 172.20.10.5 on port 1984

Your binary ('bb') is making a network connection to 172.20.10.5 to 
submit the string "status . . . "    Your local system may use the local 
userid to limit access to that specific binary, but there is nothing 
preventing anyone from using some other binary on your system (or on 
another system on the network) to submit the same string.
