Would it be practical to implement network encryption for IPv4, then circle back for IPv6 later?  I don't really know what's involved in that, but I have several thousand clients using my own curl script to report, because I'm required to use encrypted connections.

I tried compiling on RHEL10 last week.  There's a problem there to address - pcre has been deprecated and replaced with pcre2.  The old pcre is still present up to RHEL9, but it's missing in 10.  I;ll take a look and see what I can do with it, but I'm not a hot-shot programmer so it might take a while.
Don't worry, the Debian folks already have a patch that changes Xymon to use PCRE2. We'll get that merged.
