Package: mon Version: 1.3.3-4.1 Severity: normal Below is what happens when trying to monitor a remote server that requires authentication (or a server that disconnects abruptly, a server not running the mon protocol, or many other potential protocol issues).
Firstly support for username/password authentication is a wishlist item. Secondly having the program always display user-focused error messages rather than Perl diagnostics is expected. $ /usr/lib/mon/mon.d/remote.monitor server Odd number of elements in hash assignment at /usr/lib/mon/mon.d/remote.monitor line 162, <GEN0> line 2.
