[Xymon] Xymon 4.3.0 - Build RPMs

[Jason Kincl]

These are basically the exact same I did and it worked however instead of commenting out the xymonmenu.css, this will work also:
%attr(644, root, root) %config /var/lib/xymon/www/menu/xymonmenu-blue.css
%attr(644, root, root) %config /var/lib/xymon/www/menu/xymonmenu-grey.css

I would also add that in: /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg on the server once the RPM is installed you need to replace the include statement with the below text:
XYMSRV=""          # IP address of the Xymon server
XYMSERVERS=""                   # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0".

This is because the init script for the client correctly uses the /etc/default/xymon-client to create a file /var/run/xymonclient-runtime.cfg that is what is included, but the server init script does not do these things. 

Francois, did you have to do the above to make your servers client work?

Not sure what impact this will have on the server rpm as I've only used the resulting xymon-client rpm that was created.
