Interestingly enough that's not working either. I removed the old package, installed the terabithia rpm, and started the xymon-client. It did not complain about XYMONSERVERS not being set so something isn't right here. Let me try a different box.

Any ideas why /usr/share/xymon-client isn't being built?

What method did you use to install the client? If you installed via RPM, the directory should exist with ownership root:root and permissions 755.

Interesting. I've been using the RPMs from terabithia.org, which have installed, properly. My suggestion would be to grab them and try again.

Of course. That's not having any effect though. Very unusual.

I do see that the client is trying to communicate with the xymon server though:

netstat -tupan | grep 1984

tcp 0 0 10.1.5.178:56627 10.1.5.219:1984 TIME_WAIT -

Are there any communication tests I can run from the server or client to test functions?

You'll want to edit /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client and fill in the XYMON-SERVERS variable.

Both "configured" clients show up in my Ghost Clients list.

From hosts.cfg: 10.1.5.179 host1.example.com 10.1.5.178 host2.example.com

From Ghost Clients: host1 10.1.5.179 host1.example.com 1:40 host2 10.1.5.178 host2.example.com 0:00

I have tried both short and fqdn in hosts.cfg. Doesn't seem to matter, clients always appear as ghosts.

Does anything show up in your Ghost Clients list?
