It's likely that, at one point, you (or someone in your organization) ran
something like this on your Xymon server:

htpasswd -c $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonpasswd <username>

to create a password file Xymon's use and/or:

htpasswd $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonpasswd <username>

to update it with additional users or to change a user's password.

You'll want to look for "xymonpaswd" somewhere and check the contents for
a username and either change a password (for a generic, multi-use user)or
add a new user to do so (using the second command).

Hello,

        I was wondering if there was a way to control which systems were
summarized in the "all non-green view" window.
I'd like to use this as a sort of front end for our operations staff to
monitor and don't need to have them calling about every
little thing.

        Also, I can't seem to find the correct user/pass to use when
trying to run the "edit critical systems" or "acknowledge
alert" pages.  I'm running on Red Hat ES 5.9 and using Firefox for my
browser.  Keeps saying the password is invalid. I've
tried the "xymon" account, "root" and even added a password to the
"apache" account, but no success.  What is expected
here?

Thanks,
Ken
