hi people:

I have several windows machines with KpyM Telnet/SSH Server
(http://www.kpym.com/2/kpym/index.htm). But the standard xymon ssh test
always alarm since the expect return string of KpyM SSH server isn't the
same.

So I wondering if better make an isolated test for this process like
WINSSH on protocols.cfg or is safe to modify the ssh protocols.cfg
entry  ???

Thanks in advanced!

Define a new entry in protocols.cfg for your test. There is no reason you can't modify the ssh test, just be prepared to re-write your protocols.cfg with every update.

Because protocols.cfg gets rebuilt with an update, I've moved all of my customizations into a another file in subdirectory protocols.d and added the following line to protocols.cfg

directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/protocols.d
