[hobbit] "ports" RRD graph not showing up

[Hubbard, Greg L]

If you are trying to restrict the test to a specific host, why don't you
put the PROC command under its own HOST=whatever section?

The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all of the
machines under the HOST= section the test is under.  I don't want this,
as only one of the machines actually has the ports running.  I haven't
had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and it's described in
the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage for
hobbit-clients.cfg

I was wondering that myself.  I'll try changing to TRACK= to be
character-based and see if that helps.
