First of all, let me thank you for your help.

I've sent the cronos.AHD file to you by email.

Once only. I had some "errors" in bb-hosts (duplicate subpage names, 
which seemed to confuse bb-findhost.cgi).
Since then I didn't have any new coredumps.

I'm looking into it, with tcpdump and tcpflow.

It works as expected :

$ telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 1494
Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx
Escape character is '^]'.
ICA

Thanks, it's working now.



I have some more questions :

- when stopping Hobbit, is it normal to have this kind of errors in 
history.log :

2005-11-29 10:51:28 Tried to down BOARDBUSY: Invalid argument
2005-11-29 10:51:28 Worker process died with exit code 0, terminating
2005-11-29 10:51:28 Could not get shm of size 262144: No such file or 
directory
2005-11-29 10:51:28 Channel not available

- I'm running a few scripts with a long heartbeat (eg. "status+1440"), 
are these errors in history.log normal ?

2005-11-29 11:00:04 Will not update 
/BB/hobbit/data/hist/HQSTERIACRAUO.NetBackup - color unchanged (green)
2005-11-29 12:00:14 Will not update /BB/hobbit/data/hist/cronos.ebuilds 
- color unchanged (green)
2005-11-29 12:00:19 Will not update /BB/hobbit/data/hist/hades.ebuilds - 
color unchanged (green)
2005-11-29 12:01:08 Will not update 
/BB/hobbit/data/hist/ve1stnet3.photos - color unchanged (green)
2005-11-29 13:33:33 Will not update /BB/hobbit/data/hist/prod.file - 
color unchanged (green)

- what do this errors in page.log mean ?

2005-11-29 14:06:31 hobbitd_alert: Got message 4723, expected 4722
2005-11-29 14:00:15 Worker process died with exit code 0, terminating
2005-11-29 13:42:36 Stale alert for antivirus-1:http dropped

- and these in hobbitlaunch.log ? Should I run hobbitd_alert in debug mode ?

2005-11-29 12:48:32 Task bbpage terminated, status 1
2005-11-29 13:21:41 Task bbpage terminated, status 1
2005-11-29 13:32:07 Task bbpage terminated, status 1
2005-11-29 13:32:32 Task bbpage terminated, status 1
2005-11-29 13:37:44 Task bbpage terminated, status 1
2005-11-29 13:59:52 Task bbpage terminated, status 1

Thanks again !
