Interestingly, the xymon-client-4.3.27 RPM does NOT require dash:

Yep. It's coded as an rpmbuild option flag, so it can be turned on and off for different distributions. I had turned it on when re-factoring the spec file after dash had been put into EPEL, but since dash is the *only* thing in the client package not provided by the 'rhel-7-server-rpms' channel, I'll turn it off for the final RPM build. (This will also affect the EL7 server package.)
For now, xymon-client can be spot-checked on systems by picking up the dash RPM from EPEL, either by using the repo itself or just by installing the RPM directly. It's at: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/d/dash-0.5.10.2-1.el...
