1) Should this be working or is it a limitation of xymon-rclient?
It's the latter, I'm afraid. :-(
xymon-rclient is intended to (among other things) emulate logfetch, which
is where the md5 hashing is implemented. I don't believe any part of Xymon
(client or server) uses the MD5 environment variable, so setting will have
no effect.
2) What, if anything, is wrong with my config?
Nothing that I can see. It's just not (yet) supported. I couldn't
remember for sure, but comments in the source code are my off-line memory:
# Note: Due to the complexity in keeping state,
# only "file:" and "dir:" are implemented at this
# stage. Neither can backticks be used yet (the
# result is unknown). The "file:" setting cannot
# use the optional hash field yet. Linecount does
# not require state, but simply hasn't yet been
# implemented.
Also, the "file:" line parser code (line 482) simply discards anything
after a second colon.
Patches are welcome. ;-)
