hobbit at randomaccess ~/server/etc $ ../bin/bbcmd 
--env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg bbtest-net --ping --debug

It seems to have worked, pingwise:

but still doesn't test anything else... no checks for ssh, ldaps, dns... 
nothing it was checking (and showing as green) two days ago seems to be 
getting tested now.  It completes the conn test, reports the results, 
and that's that.

I've checked the permissions on hobbitserver.cfg and they're correct.  
There's no reason the hobbit user shouldn't be able to read it.
I then ran bbcmd again without specifying the env, and got identical 
results.

I don't understand why ssh et. al. is yielding nothing at all..?  If it 
failed to connect in some way it'd be red, wouldn't it?  They remain 
purple... for some reason the tests aren't being done at all.  I haven't 
altered the services definitions in any way.
