I spent a few minutes chasing my tail on this. It looks like the documentation has a minor discrepancy in option names for xymonnet.

In hosts.cfg.5.html, ssldays=WARNDAYS:ALARMDAYS says it overrides the values taken from "--sslwarndays" and "--sslalarmdays" options for the xymonnet(1) tool.

xymonnet.1.html, however, says the options for SSL certificate tests are named:
    --sslwarn and --sslalarm
I think my testing indicates these are the correct names.

If this is the case, can we have you strike the 'days' from the ends of those two options in hosts.cfg.5.html page?

    Do things because you should, not just because you can.

Thanks - good catch. I've updated the hosts.cfg man-page so they agree 
on the option names.
