Services Red<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On a few of our servers the SMTP and FTP services are RED but when I telnet
to them, they do show the proper 220 status good. They are quite slow to respond
though, taking sometimes 10-15 seconds. Is there anyway to get Hobbit to pause
and wait for this? If not, how long does it wait before it shows a red status?
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very much for your help.</DIV>
