I have successfully installed and configured bbwin 0.9 on a windows client. My question is about bbd.

From docs.. "The bbd column shows the status of the Hobbit or Big Brother service on the host. "

Since bbd refers to a host installed agent, which is not part of bbwin, how do I disable this in hobbit-server for a given windows host.

"bbd" is a network test, probing port 1984 on the host - this port is only available on the Hobbit server itself.

If you have it listed for a Windows client - with a red/yellow/green icon, not just the "there's-no-such-test" dash - then you should remove the "bbd" tag from the bb-hosts entry for your Windows host. And run bb 127.0.0.1 "drop WINDOWSHOSTNAME bbd" to eliminate the bogus status.

I hate to seem thick, but I am having trouble with your suggestion. Before posting I spent most of the day trying to figure this out.

From the hobbit server, I am logged in as user hobbit I tried the following several methods. --admin-senders=127.0.0.1 is in hobbitlaunch.cfg I have tried with both (.) and (,) in FQDN

$ $bb 127.0.0.1 drop p0054.pmg.local bbd 127.0.0.1: not found

$ $bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd" 127.0.0.1: not found

$ bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd" bb: not found

$ $bb --debug 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd" --debug: not found

$ $bb debug 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd" debug: not found

$ $bb $bbdisp drop p0054.pmg.local bbd drop: not found

$ $bb $bbdisp "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd" drop p0054.pmg.local.bbd: not found

$ $bb --debug $BBDISP "drop p0054,pmg,local bbd" --debug: not found

$ $bb $BBDISP "drop p0054,pmg,local bbd" drop p0054,pmg,local bbd: not found

$ $bb -debug $BBDISP "drop p0054,pmg,local bbd" -debug: not found

$ $bb debug $BBDISP "drop p0054,pmg,local bbd" debug: not found

From windows client with bbwin

From the windows client c:\program files\bbwin\bin> bbwincmd.exe 192.168.222.62:1984 drop p0054.pmg.local bbd

No error message on client Error message on server in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.log

2007-01-29 13:05:36 Refused message from 192.168.222.61: drop p0054,pmg,local bbd

What as I doing wrong? Thanks

"$BB" in what I wrote is the ~hobbit/server/bin/bb command. I'm afraid it is my over-exposure to Hobbit and Big Brother scripts which makes this seem obvious. I guess it really isn't.

...

$ $bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd"

This should work, if you run it as ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd"

Henrik, BIG Thanks ! this did work on the second attempt (LOL).

~hobbit/server I assume implies /home/hobbit/server .... That is, if I had installed to the /home directory. I had actually installed to /usr/local/etc/hobbit/

Anyway, don't mean to be noisy. Hope this helps some other n00b.

Regards, Don
