[hobbit] Passive FTP test?

[Frank M. Ramaekers]

Kinda thought that...the client I'm referring to I don't have control
over, therefore I cannot install BBWin, if I wanted to.  I thought there
was a way in Hobbit to test active ports passively w/o any client
software.

Go to Help, Configuring Monitoring, hobbit-clients.cfg.  Scroll way down

to the 'PORTS STATUS COLUMN SETTINGS'.  But this will only work for 
Unix/Linux clients, I do not know if BBWin has implemented this.
