Hi,

this is just a little guide for anybody wishing to put xymon clients (all Debian 10 respectively 11) into local mode.

We tried changing the appropriate config part [1] (but did not succeed, because in the Debian package the binary "xymond_client" was missing when installing the "xymon-client" package.

This has previously been reported to the Debian bug tracker [2], but with little progress unfortunately. So we tried to copy the binary from our server and distributed it to the clients and it just worked.

No need to manually compile the client package, just take the binary from the server package and use it on the client.

Tested successfully with Debian 10 (xymon-client 4.3.28) and Debian 11 (xymon-client 4.3.30).

Chers Christoph
