[Xymon] Client hostname on server

[Novosielski, Ryan]

Yup. I dropped both the xymon (which is a CNAME to the real name) name and the client's real name. The hostname in the client software is set to uname -n which does report the name I want.

Did you run run a xymon drop on the old host name? Have you checked the
config on the client to make sure it doesn't have the wrong hostname
manually set?
