<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: navy;">In the output below, it appears your client is trying to connect to
bbd on the local host via the loopback address (127.0.0.1). Are you
sure you have the BBDISP variable in your hobbitclient.cfg file set
correctly? It should be pointing to the xymon server, not the loopback
address.</span></p>
