This reuses all/any of the ftp send/response strings in protocols.cfg

You can use the "include" keyword for protocols.cfg. So you could
append
"include protocols-local.cfg" at the end of protocols.cfg, and then put
your re-definition into that file.
A couple of months ago, I dug through the documentation seeking just
such an option. Your suggestion was enough to have me try it even
without finding it in the doc. I didn't confirm the 'include' keyword
worked because I really wanted the 'directory' function.
a'yep. It does.
I've appended:
directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/protocols.d
to server/etc/protocols.cfg and it happily consumes the files I put in
that directory.
Shucks. I didn't know it would work with graphs.cfg, too. I'm off to try
the same thing there. Thank you, Jeremy!

The include and directory directives should work on anything opened using
the file stack routines, which is pretty much most files except the
cgioptions.cfg shell include.
