man 8 hobbitd:
       --admin-senders=IP[/MASK][,IP/MASK]
              Controls  which  hosts may send administrative commands to
hobbitd. These commands
              are the "drop" and "rename" commands. Access to these
should be restricted,  since
              they  provide  an  un-authenticated  means of completely
disabling monitoring of a
              host, and can be used to remove all traces of e.g.  a
system compromise  from  the
              Xymon monitor.

Is this the problem / solution ?

bbd isn't running - start it!

2009-05-01 11:19:45 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed

    I am trying to issue the following command from a client server

     
    /bin/bb hobbitserver “drop hostname testname”

     
    But on the hobbit server I am getting the following error:

    2009-05-01 09:25:00 Refused message from a.b.c.d: drop hostname
    testname

     
    Any help with this would be great!
