False positive during network test

[James B Horwath <JamesHorwath (at) glic.com>]

I have a quirky firewall which is throttling back traffic every so often, 
the result is an ssh failure to every host on the subnet.  I am not using 
ping tests for connectivity but rather an ssh  test. 

I have this definition in the bb-hosts file:

10.10.10.10    dmz_node        # !telnet ssh  noconn badssh:1:1:2

In hobbitlaunch.cfg

 CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --timeout=60 --debug

Is there a way to bump the time-out up for ssh tests?  I am obviously not 
using the badtest correctly.  In bb I lengthened the three net test 
time-out variables and did not  suffer from this malady. 

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Jim Horwath
