Log in as the hobbit user, then run 

   ~/server/bin/bbcmd sh
   bbtest-net --debug HOSTNAME

where HOSTNAME is one of the hosts with this test.

At the start of the output is a dump of the services found in your
bb-services file, ending with:

BBNETSVCS set to : smtp telnet ftp pop pop3 pop-3 ssh imap ssh1 ssh2 imap2 imap3 imap4 pop2 pop-2 nntp vnc qmqp qmtp oratns clamd bbd rsync ldaps ldap nntps imaps pop3s smtps telnets ftps

Check that your custom test is listed here.


If it is, then later on you should see lines like these:

2005-02-14 14:59:24 Adding tcp test IP=127.0.0.1, port=1984, service=bbd, silent=0
2005-02-14 14:59:24 Adding tcp test IP=127.0.0.1, port=80, service=http, silent=0

Check that the IP and portnumbers are correct.
