Yes, all my missig clients are listed as ghost + 2 clients which are 
at both places (as ghosts and showing green dimonds)+ 1 client that just 
turned to purple.

in ghosts file IP numbers are translated to nonqualified names - if 
compared with bb-hosts:

in bb-hosts:
----
130.225.128.126   sieglinde.imada.sdu.dk
130.225.128.167   zaira.imada.sdu.dk

----
in ghosts:
130.225.128.126 reported host sieglinde
130.225.128.167 reported host zaira
-----

I checked bb-hosts for special characters, and there are places where I 
use tabs instead of spaces - but it doesn't seem to have an influence.

That's right! Now data i log ar quite different!

Is it something special I have to look for?
