Jeremy you were correct (as always) thank you !!
 the server was using /usr/local/xymon/.netrc and I was editing
/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/.netrc


What controls whether/which of these files is used?
thank you!

(now all I have to do is figure out why my esxi cpu tests are yellow in dev
but not in prod, but I think I can blame vmware tools for that one)

any thoughts?
You sure it's looking for ~/.netrc where you think it is?  You might have
$XYMONHOME/etc/netrc, which will mask any you have in ~/.netrc.  Perhaps
run xymonnet via strace, grepping for netrc and see where it's
looking/finding it.
