Error when starting recently installed client

Both "configured" clients show up in my Ghost Clients list.

From hosts.cfg:
10.1.5.179   host1.example.com
10.1.5.178   host2.example.com

From Ghost Clients:
host1 10.1.5.179 host1.example.com 1:40
host2 10.1.5.178 host2.example.com 0:00

I have tried both short and fqdn in hosts.cfg. Doesn't seem to matter,
clients always appear as ghosts.

Of course. That's not having any effect though. Very unusual.

I do see that the client is trying to communicate with the xymon
server though:

# netstat -tupan | grep 1984
tcp        0      0 10.1.5.178:56627 [4]            10.1.5.219:1984
[5]             TIME_WAIT   -


 Are there any communication tests I can run from the server or client
to test functions?

Interestingly enough that's not working either. I removed the old
package, installed the terabithia rpm, and started the
xymon-client.
It did not complain about XYMONSERVERS not being set so something
isn't right here. Let me try a different box.

Built the rpm using the makerpm.sh script and installed with yum.
Directory is not present on the box.

I have xymon-client running on a handful of RHEL6 servers. But,
other
RHEL6 servers where I am rolling out the client throw up this

Any ideas why /usr/share/xymon-client isn't being built?

Thanks,

What method did you use to install the client? If you installed via
RPM, the directory should exist with ownership root:root and
permissions 755.

Interesting. I've been using the RPMs from terabithia.org [3] [3],

which

have installed, properly. My suggestion would be to grab them and
try
again.

 You'll want to edit /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client and fill in the
XYMON-SERVERS variable.

Does anything show up in your Ghost Clients list?
