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>
<div><br>I'm getting the same thing, though up to now it wasn't bothering

updated my bb-hosts file to remove a couple of systems. I also did "bb
localhost 'drop xxx'". There's no information left in the data directory
belonging to those systems, and yet they still show up in the ghostlist.
<br><br>The removed systems also show up in the Ghost Client report in the web
page. After 5 minutes, they disappear, then return some time
later. Even after they drop out of the Ghost Client report, they still
show up in "bb localhost ghostlist".<br><br>This is in a test system running
