Has anyone installed this recently?  I went through the instructions but I think my first snag is the lack of SSH to grab the named.stats file.  Watching tcpdump on the client I get no 22/tcp traffic from the Xymon server.

My host entry (IP host and user changed):
192.168.1.100 foobar.imaginenetworksllc.com <http://foobar.imaginenetworksllc.com>; # dns RNAMED:"cmd(ssh -T username@%{H} 2>/dev/null),statsfile(named.stats)" TRENDS:*,bindstats

I do have an SSH trust but it's not getting that far, Xymon isn't attempting to SSH at all.

First thought is to try to do the ssh command in the scripts manually as the Xymon user and see if it's wanting to update the known_hosts or
waiting for someone to accept the remote key... etc.

I know it's kind of an obvious thing and you might have checked it but I've seen fun with ssh scripts like that which timeout waiting for user intervention.
After a manual run it's good to go for the rest of the life or until modified.
