[Xymon] how to run 2 xymon-servers on 1 host?

This is one of the more obscure parts of the SysV IPC specs, but it 
basically boils down to this: Make sure the two Xymon servers have 
different XYMONHOME directories, and it should work OK.

(For details, look up the documentation on your systems' "ftok" function).
