Right then. Straightened out thanks to Henrik's generosity with his time. As a warning to my fellow knobs, here's the postmortem:
In bb-hosts, the group-only definitions controls the display of the tests. Group-only arguments do NOT call for the actual tests themselves; they must be specified after the hashmark on the client line normally. (Client tests are reported by the client and don't get specified after the hash.) So, this fails to provide the expected info:
group-only ldaps|ssh|cpu|memory|disk|procs hobbitses 10.10.10.15 brassai
and this succeeds:
group-only ldaps|ssh|cpu|memory|disk|procs hobbitses 10.10.10.15 brassai # ldaps ssh
In the former, ldaps and ssh will have null info. cpu -> procs will display correctly, but no net tests will be called on brassai other than ping, by default, as --ping is specified by default in hobbitlaunch.cfg under the [bbnet] section.
I hope this helps anyone else new and blundering their way around the config files as i was.

It seems to have worked, pingwise:
2005-11-01 16:27:24 Sending results for service conn 2005-11-01 16:27:24 Adding to combo msg: status randomaccess.conn green <!-- [flags:OrdAstILe] --> Tue Nov 1 16:27:24 2005 conn ok
but still doesn't test anything else... no checks for ssh, ldaps, dns... nothing it was checking (and showing as green) two days ago seems to be getting tested now. It completes the conn test, reports the results, and that's that.
Run "bbcmd bbtest-net --ping --report --debug 2>&1 >debug.log" and send the full debug logfile directly to me (henrik at hswn.dk).
