their name is not a match in the bb-hosts file. If you decide to get rid
of a client, you have to a) update bb-hosts to suspend polling, and b) update
the client so either the agent does not run, or so that it sends its data
elsewhere.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

there is something wrong with my install then, I notice changes to the
bb-hosts file as they are picked up (i.e. without having to force the change
with s restart or HUP) yet I have waited over 24 hours and the output from
bb ghostlist is still reporting an entry as a ghost. A full restart of
hobbit resolves the issue.</BLOCKQUOTE>
