No complaints from users, and I couldn't identify the network anomaly
causing it, so I just use "badhttp 2:3:4" for them in bb-hosts.  They
pretty much stay in "smiley" green, but that's better than alarms for no
good purpose.

It's "badTEST" in the manpage.
Does this work for all tests, or does it only work for the built-in
network tests?  I have a couple of custom scripts that occasionally give
false alarms.
IIRC it's only for the built-in network tests.  That's implied but not
definitively stated in the manpage.
