The hostname you see in the "ghosts" list is the hostname the the clients use when they report data. This *must* match the one found in the bb-hosts file, or Hobbit will simply discard the client message because it doesn't know which host it belongs to.
So you can either change your clients to use the "--hostname" option (e.g. use "--hostname=sieglinde.imada.sdu.dk" when calling runclient.sh), or add "CLIENT:sieglinde" to the entries in the bb-hosts file.
It seems to partly(!) explain my puzzle:) The way client presents to the server obviously was changed in the last upgrade (the day since my problems started). The workstations which were down during my hobbit uprade could after restart continue with old hobbit_client until they become først PURPLE then '-' and were not upgraded.
Still I don't understand why my 2 servers (sparc/solaris9) stay GREEN on display even if there is an obvious name mismatch - AND there is no shade for incoming data from both servers in clientdata.log! (I am running hobbitd_client with --debug option)
