[hobbit] bbd:Service unavailable (Connection refused) for xymon client

[Brian Catlin]

If there is a routed network between - you may have issues with your 172..29
, as it is in the RFC 1918 nonroutable address range.

From the RFC:
3. Private Address Space

   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
   Following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

     10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
     172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
     192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
 
Secondly - if that's okay - then is there a firewall between them blocking
the port?  You say you telneted, what you do not say is that you telneted to
the Xymon server on port 1984 - try it.

  
Try starting the client with the fully qualified name :  runclient.sh 
--hostname="host.net.domain"

Long as the scripts you use on the client are not hardcoded to the hostname
(such as uname -n), things should work. 

Once it talks, you may have to adjust the bb-hosts entry to make it appear -
check for ghosts then.

Other than that - tcpdump is a useful tool on the client (wireshark on Linux
works nicely too)  Capture your port 1984 traffic and see what its really
doing.
