Running Hobbit 4.0.4 on RHEL linux in a kinda special way. I have 2 BBNET servers, one server is also the BBDISPLAY server.
On the BBNET server without display I am running hobbit basicly only bbnet process. On this host I am also running bbproxy for my production BBDISPLAY and my test BBDISPLAY (third seperate server).
Now the problem started when I decided to "upgrade" the hobbit BBNET only server to also be a BBDISPLAY server. I did this by starting hobbit on port 1986 (--listen=172.17.110.20:1986) along with the bbdisplay/histry/lard etc processes and then add a third bbdisplay server to my bbproxy configuration (--bbdisplay=172.17.110.20:1986).
Hobbitd.log and hobbitlaunch.log are fine - no errors - but on my "primary" BBDISPLAY I now have the above line as status. I tried to add --debug to the hobbitd and bbdisplay configurations in hobbitlaunch.cfg but this crashed.
Tried to disable the HEARTBEAT in hobbitlaunch but this did not solve the problem.
If I stop hobbit the state is written to the tmp/hobbit.chk file and started again has the saved state.
If this was not enough the "new" BBDISPLAY is making the headlines but no hosts. :-(
Any help is appresiated.

I haven't quite understood exactly which servers are running BBDISPLAY and which are proxying and who should talk to who, but I think the problem might have to do with the port 1986. Several of the tools - including bbgen (generates the overview webpages) and hobbitsvc.cgi (generates the detailed status view) talk to hobbitd over the network, so they may have to be tweaked to communicate with a hobbitd on port 1986.
For troubleshooting, could you try running
BBPORT=1986; export BBPORT bb ip.of.your.bbdisplay hobbitdboard
This should fetch the current status from your server using port 1986.
Now I'll go re-read your mail in greater detail and see if I can figure out what your setup is :-)
