I wrote that article a long time ago. Looks like my friend updated his
blog to have a rather annoying theme :-)

I can't comment further as I needed to bring up Xymon on a test box and
I didn't want to use Apache. That seemed to work at the time. Scanning
the config again it doesn't seem completely out of place, but that
symlink solution was a hack that probably could have been avoided.
