[hobbit] Custom script shows purple

[David Morgan]

We wanted to test the connectivity from the LDAP clients (running a 
xymon agent) to the LDAP server and report their connectivity status.

It appears (at least from what I read) that the LDAP module is a test 
from the Hobbit/XYmon Server to the LDAP server.
