Hello,
Using Xymon 4.3.7 I added the '--no-download' option to the startup of 'xymond'. The man page says:
Disable the "download" and "config" commands which can be used by clients to pull files from the Xymon server. The use of these may be seen as a security risk since they allow file downloads.
However, when I use this option I get purple status reports for cpu, disk, files, memory and procs for all the hosts. If I remove the option, then it all goes back to green again.
As far as I can tell it is not, therefore, possible to use this option to secure Xymon against the download and config commands.
Any comments?
John.
