Hello All,

Interesting problem here with xymon-server and sslv2 and sslv3 on freeBSD that 
I'm told Henrik may like looking into...

Failure log:
http://package18.nyi.freebsd.org/data/101amd64-default-PR195796/2014-12-12_06h28m13s/logs/errors/xymon-server-4.3.17_4.log

Bug report:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195796

Do you know how this could be corrected in the freebsd ports?

The maintainer of the freeBSD port updated it just yesterday (19 December) 
bumping it to 4.3.18:

To clarify: it's not possible to build xymon against an OpenSSL
*without* SSLv2 cipher support. I assume xymon will break if you remove
any cipher instead of detecting what is available and reducing feature
set.

Yes, this is true and sorry for not being more clear. +

I see the freeBSD ports was updated Xymon updated to 4.3.18 but I don't 
suppose this provides the options to build without sslv2, correct?

Correct. I did not provide any changes nor test for this capability. I
don't believe the situation has improved in 4.3.18.

That's not really a Xymon problem. The Xymon "configure" system is
clever enough to figure out that SSLV2 support is missing. The FreeBSD
port explicitly sets HAVE_SSLV2_SUPPORT:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net-mgmt/xymon-server/files/Makefile?view=markup#l61

The line should be replaced with "SSLFLAGS = -DHAVE_OPENSSL", and the
port should be revbumped to fix this.

Huh, I forgot the port was providing a pregenerated Makefile... (because
Xymon's ./configure is interactive). I'll test that out and give it a
whirl.

It works, so I've updated the port accordingly. Thanks! Annoyed that I
didn't notice that flag was in the pregenerated Makefile...

I blame whoever I inherited this port from :-)
