[Xymon] Version 5 with IPv6 - anyone for testing? And some news ...

Hi Henrik,

executive summary: wow!

We dove right in, and things are looking pretty good. Stuff we noticed:

make install:

• error: chown xymon /opt/xymon/server/etc/protocols.cfg - cannot access `/opt/xymon/server/etc/protocols.cfg': No such file or directory, lines 136f in xymonnet/Makefile - obsolete protocols.cfg
• error: chown xymon /opt/xymon/server/ext/* - cannot access `/opt/xymon/server/ext/*': No such file or directory

after that, we quickly managed to get it up and running with some of our hosts and also an IPv6-only machine. Our patch [1] is no longer needed. The new client sometimes complains in the logs: xymon 4.3.99 Usage: /opt/xymon/client/bin/xymon [--debug] [--merge] [--proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

but still reports just fine. Other than that: great work! This is amazing progress compared to the last trunk version we tried.

We'll continue to play around with it and let you know what our experiences are.

thanks, -Christian
