Jeremy you were correct (as always) thank you !! the server was using /usr/local/xymon/.netrc and I was editing /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/.netrc
What controls whether/which of these files is used? thank you!
(now all I have to do is figure out why my esxi cpu tests are yellow in dev but not in prod, but I think I can blame vmware tools for that one)

any thoughts?
You sure it's looking for ~/.netrc where you think it is? You might have $XYMONHOME/etc/netrc, which will mask any you have in ~/.netrc. Perhaps run xymonnet via strace, grepping for netrc and see where it's looking/finding it.
