Well, yes as a matter of fact it does look like I changed that line.
Once I changed it back everything works GREAT.  I'll try not to play
with any more values that I don't understand.  Thank you very much for
the quick response and the great advise.  

Regards,
Chris

You must be running hobbitd with the "--admin-senders" option set to
something other than the default. This option restricts the IP-adresses
that the Hobbit server allows to send it administrative commands such as
the "drop" command; the default is to allow these only from the loopback
address (127.0.0.1) and the Hobbit server itself.

Check the "--admin-senders" option in
~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg,
and make sure you send the command from one of the hosts listed in that
option.

Henrik
