No, "bbd" checks the Hobbit daemon's network interface. "hobbitd" just
provides some statistics about all of Hobbit, and goes red/yellow if any
problems are logged to the hobbitd logfiles.
Ah, gotcha.
Check the IP that your client is configured to send reports to. When you
are using the msgcache/hobbitfetch combo, then BBDISP on your clients
should be 127.0.0.1, instead of the IP of your real Hobbit server.
It's set to 127.0.0.1 on all client machines. Still nothing coming in from
the bb pulldata command; therefore nothing showing up on the HTML page.
This did solve the timeouts in the hobbitclient.log
If I use --debug with bb, it shows a successful connection (status 0),
sending 8 bytes ("pulldata") and then disconnecting.
