[Xymon] findhost + enadis not working after in-place upgrade

[Jeremy Laidman]

Check your "Ghost Clients" report to see if the hostnames in hosts.cfg
match the hostnames in the status messages.

The xymond status page indicates that you've received no enable or disable
messages - possibly because they've been rejected by xymond, which I would
expect to see in a log somewhere, such as xymond.log.

The enable/disable page is a CGI script. If it's having permissions
problems or some other issue, you might see something show up in the Apache
logs.

As I understand it, the enable/disable CGI binary gets its host list by
loading in the hosts.cfg and any included files. The CGI binary runs as the
Apache user. So the Apache user needs to have read permission on the
hosts.cfg file and any included files and their containing directories. So
check the permissions of any host files and ensure that the Apache user can
read them. If this is the problem, I would expect a log message in the
Apache log file indicating a permissions problem.
