Henrik, I did forget to mention that I updated the security file after I
saw rejections from the bbproxy in BBOUT.  After updating the file the
rejections stopped, but the BB server is still not updating the display.

Thanks,

-Shaun

So far I have been able to make the external clients send to the 
bbproxy server, and the bbproxy server can make contact through the 
firewall to the BBDISPLAY server on tcp1984.  However, the BBDISPLAY 
server is not doing anything with the data.  Both the bbproxy and the 
external client are in bb-hosts, and I can see tcp connections being 
made on both ends via snoop.

And this is what I see when I tail the bbproxy logs:

2005-08-08 16:48:12 10.88.19.38 : status btndev8.disk
2005-08-08 16:48:14 10.88.19.38 : status btndev8.top

BB uses the file $BBHOME/etc/security to list the IP-adresses that are
allowed to connect to the bbd daemon. My first guess would be that the
IP-address that bbd sees for the incoming connections from the proxy is
not listed in this file, which causes the bbd daemon to drop the
connection immediately.

I believe you need to restart BB after changing this file.
