It is worth noting that out of the box:
A) the Xymon client <> server communication channel is unencrypted TCP B) there is neither authentication or authorization of that channel C) any client may send valid messages for any hostname D) the Xymon server may send arbitrary code to the client for execution

The "worst", most technical thing I know about installing Xymon is building from source (my preferred method), but just about any modern Linux distro has binaries available.
