Is Xymon Alive?

Hi,

Point A can be fixed if you configure xymoncgimsg.cgi on the server.
We have this in a password protected cgi-bin https location.
We have curl and wget based drop-in replacement scripts for the native Xymon binary.
The powershell windows clients also can use this to send data to the Xymon server.

So all data is encrypted and you need a username / password combo.

I've been hoping for a fix for point A, encrypted communications, for some time.? At one time it was going to be rolled into the next release.

    It is worth noting that out of the box:

    A) the Xymon client <> server communication channel is unencrypted TCP
    B) there is neither authentication or authorization of that channel
    C) any client may send valid messages for any hostname
    D) the Xymon server may send arbitrary code to the client for execution

The "worst", most technical thing I know about installing Xymon is
building from source (my preferred method), but just about any

Linux distro has binaries available.? The second "worst" thing is
editing text files to configure it.? There have been
    configuration tools
attempted, but to my knowledge, really gone nowhere.
