To read the /var/core directory I added the xymon group to the root group on some machines, on others I have changed the perms. You have to change the perms to read the /var/crash/[hostname] directory though as it is 700

Anybody know of a way to give Xymon elevated access permissions when it stats files it's checking? I would prefer not to change the directory permissions if I can avoid it.
