I've recently built the solaris client v. 4.3.17 its built and run in local mode But nothing ever ends up on the server to be displayed. The route to the server on port 1984 is open. I do however see this in debug mode $ $XYMONHOME/bin/xymond_client --debug --config=$XYMONHOME/etc/localclient.cfg <$MSGTMPFILE 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Want msg 1, startpos 0, fillpos 0, endpos -1, usedbytes=0, bufleft=528383 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Got 26318 bytes 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 /export/home/xymon/client/bin/xymond_client: Got message 1 @@client#1|0|127.0.0.1|tpa-issmon|sunos 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 startpos 26315, fillpos 26318, endpos -1 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Transport setup is: 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 xymondportnumber = 1984 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 xymonproxyhost = NONE 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 xymonproxyport = 0 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Recipient listed as '192.168.55.242' 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Standard protocol on port 1984 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Will connect to address 192.168.55.242 port 1984 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Connect status is 0 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Sent 16 bytes 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Closing connection 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Opening file /export/home/xymon/client/etc/localclient.cfg 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Client report from host tpa-issmon 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Want msg 2, startpos 26315, fillpos 26318, endpos -1, usedbytes=3, bufleft=502065 10389 2014-08-20 13:29:19 get_xymond_message: Returning NULL due to EOF 2014-08-20 13:29:19 Failed to get a message, terminating those last two lines are of concern. What have I configured incorrectly?  cheers ian
