</div>Yeah, I took a look at that before writing. There's nothing missing that<br>
I can see that refers to anything like that. Only think I can think of<br>
is that the client piece may not be using the same hostname as my<br>
machine. I don't know what xymon does in cases where one is using FQDN<br>
and one isn't. My bb-hosts line is:<br>
<br>
130.219.34.102 <a href="http://xymon.umdnj.edu" target="_blank">xymon.umdnj.edu</a> # BBDISPLAY bbd ssh !telnet !ftp<br>
<br>
So I'm only missing some extraneous stuff, if I compare it to their<br>
line. I don't think the CLIENT piece is strictly required. I guess I<br>
will re-read the man page for bb-hosts.<br>
