The online manpage (probably the most up-to-date) says that the netrc file
is in $XYMON/etc/netrc - note that there is no dot in the filename.

Hi


Im running a xymon server installed from the Terabithia repository


Release: xymon-4.3.30-1


I added a http test that requires basic authentication. The password has
special characters.


The test works when I add the username and password in the full url, ie.
https://server/page.htm?user=User&password=p at sw0rd


The man pages mention a file ~/.netrc where you can store username and
password for basic authentication


Which directory should the file be stored on the server.


Best regards
