Offhand I'd say to put the apache user in the xymon group if you have such
problems.  But since a default Xymon install will normally have the
permissions at 755 for folders and 644 for files in the Xymon www and cgi
directories, the perms have apparently been mucked with on your system,
perhaps the ownership as well.  In a normal install, in my experience,
apache would be able to read everything without any permission
adjustments.

You mean, like "find / -name 'apache*'"?  It's not clear how that would
have any bearing on the discussion.

Yep, that's what it looks like on my systems, too.  Your point?
