typo in templates/gmond.conf.el5.erb

[noemif]

Hey, a really quick one:

There's a typo at templates/gmond.conf.el5.erb line 62:
<% unless @udp_recv_channel -%>
should be
<% if @udp_recv_channel -%>

This causes issues on RHEL5 where gmond fails to start with:
apr_pollset_create failed: Invalid argument

I've traced it down to the glibc version (2.5) which has an extra check on the apr_pollset_create() function. This check causes a failure if gmond.conf does not have at least one udp_recv_channel defined. This behaviour has been fixed in glibc >2.9 (but it's not available on RHEL5...) and in gmond 3.7.2 (but it's not yet available on EPEL...).

Cheers,
Noemi

Sorry for the slow response. Support for el5 is being dropped, so this is not longer relevant.
