1. Has someone a working Netware client and can share it with me?
  Or do you monitor servers running Netware 4.x and above another way
  and can tell me how to do it?
Netware was never really well supported in the old Big Brother
system, and noone has apparently had enough interest in a
Netware client to build one for Hobbit/Xymon.

There's an ancient "BBNW" client at 
  http://www.iaeste.dk/~henrik/projects/bigbrother/bbnw.html
and I *think* it will work with Xymon, since it uses just the
old BB interface. I don't know if it is sufficient for what
you need.
2. I just installed XYmon 4.2.2 as server on Solaris 8.
  I have a client running Solaris 10. So I compiled the client
  on this machine and transferred it back to the server to try
  the clientupdate. I did as written here:
  http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/man1/clientupdate.1.html
  But after client-local.cfg got reloaded not only the Solaris 10
  client got updated with the new version. The client on the Server
  also got overwritten with the new version which is not what I wanted.
  So how do I tell XYmon to update only specific machines instead of
  all running the same OS but in different releases?
I guess you added the "clientversion:NNN" line to the "[sunos]"
section of client-local.cfg ? Then it applies to all hosts that
are "sunos" hosts. If you want to do it for just a single host,
then copy the "[sunos]" section to a new section called "[server1]"
(replace 'server1' with the real hostname) and put the clientversion
line in that section, instead of the [sunos] section.
