<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">All,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have followed the last couple of ghostlist threads with interest as I am having problems in that area, but naturally enough my problems seem to be completely different.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have servers listed in the ghostlist web page that most definitely are in my bb-hosts file. The name is the same as is the IP address:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">From the Ghostlist webpage:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ivp0.lon.dcn.colt.net 10.44.107.59 0:52 </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">From bb-hosts:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># grep ivp0 bb-hosts</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">10.44.107.59 ivp0.lon.dcn.colt.net # ssh</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This entry has been in bb-hosts for months and I have restarted the Hobbit server a number of times since then, as recent as today in fact.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This server is definitely reporting back to Hobbit and I can see it in the main Hobbit web pages. Here is the first few lines from its Info page:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hostname: ivp0.lon.dcn.colt.net </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">OS: SunOS ivp0.lon.dcn.colt.net 5.10 Generic_127111-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Client S/W: </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">IP: 10.44.107.59 </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So this server is definitely in the config files, is reporting data correctly and the Hobbit server is processing it, just for some reason it's not processing ALL of it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The ghostlist web page itself has 22 servers listed in it. Strangely though, running the "bb localhost ghostlist" returns a much small list, it only has seven entries and only the first one of them is in the list that hobbit-ghosts.cgi produces. This first entry IS a valid ghost.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can anyone off up suggestions as to why:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) My ghostlist webpage list has such a large list of non-ghost servers.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) Why the Hobbit ghost list doesn't match the bb one?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks for your time,</FONT>
