[hobbit] Enable/Disable propogation

[Kauffman, Tom]

Enable/Disable looks to propagate ok, but I've just tried to ack an
alert on my primary hobbit server -- and the ack did not propagate to
the secondary server. This is 4.2.0 with all the (as of yesterday :-)
patches, running with '--no-pin'.

Question on BBDISPLAYS -- is this list supposed to be space delimited,
comma-delimited, or does it not matter? Mine is space-delimited.

The Hobbit enable/disable tool sends the enable/disable commands to all
of the servers listed in the BBDISPLAYS setting in hobbitserver.cfg. So
if you have that setup in your config, it will automatically propagate
to all of the servers.

Note that when using multiple servers, it is recommended that you have
the local server FIRST in the list of servers in BBDISPLAYS.
