Jewel,
Don't give up, just think of all the stuff you are learning as a result of these trials.
In the output from the dpkg list command that you ran yesterday it shows that there are two versions of SSL libraries installed on your system. There was also a message this morning with a specfic sslv2 test that failed. I do NOT recommend that you remove libssl0.9.8, as it is probably required for some other product on your system. You need to specify the libssl1.0 paths for the Xymon install (reference below). How you find the correct path on Ubuntu, and if you need to clean up some old ssl conf / cache files I will leave to the Debian / Ubuntu experts that don't like top posts. Regards, Tim
