No. > Are there plans to include this in Debian? More or less as stated before — until your mail from today of course. My own need is rather little. Mostly privacy concerns (process lists, etc.) on workstations or non-LAN machines. For my workstation at home I wrote https://packages.debian.org/systray-mdstat to serve my biggest need. Serves well so far. For non-LAN machines (and IPv6-only hosts *sigh*) I use stunnel over port 1983. :-) Christoph Zechner wrote: > To put Debian machines into "local mode" for xymon, the binary > "xymond_client" is needed on the clients, which is not part of the > "xymon-client" package as of yet.

I can't remember any more details how I came to that conclusion (but it was likely by looking at the upstream build scripts), so I'd say it's worth a try. > This has been tested on buster (xymon-client 4.3.28-5+deb10u1) and bullseye > (xymon-client 4.3.30-1), both tests were successful. Thanks for that information! Makes me more confident that this experiment works out. :-) > Would it be possible to provide this binary in the "xymon-client" package as > well? Well, it would be a move of that file from the xymon package to the xymon-client package as both need to be able to be installed at the same time since xymon depends on xymon-client for running checks on the Xymon server as well.
