Gentlemen,<BR>
Thanks VERY much for your input. I found the problem. It was a naming convention. The example I sent did not have the original entry in the bb-hosts file. When I originally installed hobbit, I selected FQDN, so all my hosts had the FQDN. It looked like this:<BR>
<BR>
10.10.0.6 castor.galaxy.prv # trace<BR><BR>
however, I do not see an option in the client package to make the host report as a FQDN.<BR>
<BR>
I changed the entry in the bb-hosts to use the short name while I was typing the entry to this forum. I looked later and found that <BR>
it was now collecting data.<BR>
<BR>
Is this a bug or just an oversight on my part?<BR>
<BR>
Ideas?....and thanks for all your help.<BR>
