OK, my mistake - they are not doing it.  The Server shows all the  
clients (except itself) are red under bbd.

So now I go to the client and login as the hobbit user and I can  
telnet to the server on port 1984

and I can run bb:

hobbit (at) ap1:~/client/bin$ ./bb --debug 10.1.90.22 "query  
ap1.lax1.boredat.com conn"
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Transport setup is:
2007-08-22 11:19:00 bbdportnumber = 1984
2007-08-22 11:19:00 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2007-08-22 11:19:00 bbdispproxyport = 0
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Recipient listed as '10.1.90.22'
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Will connect to address 10.1.90.22 port 1984
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Connect status is 0
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Sent 31 bytes
2007-08-22 11:19:00 Closing connection

So the client appears to be working (yes?)

Back on the server bbd is still red and if I click on it (the red  
icon under bbd) I see the message:

Service bbd on ap1.lax1.boredat.com is not OK : Service unavailable  
(Connection refused)

How can I debug this?
