[Xymon] Installing RetDS for bind statistics graphing

[Josh Luthman]

The script itself doesn't have SSH commands to my knowledge.  The one SSH
command is in hosts.cfg and that's just to pull named.stats.

I did test this in (Xymon user)'s shell, it worked as expected.  I could
also grab the named.stats file.
