Hi,

I've just added the BBGHOST=2 setting to my hobbitserver.cfg file (running Hobbit Monitor 4.2-beta-20060605), and I was wondering if it is possible to create a warning in the hobbitd test when a ghost is detected ?

As I understand it, BBGHOST=1 will discard the message, and BBGHOST=2 will add a line to the hobbitd page (something like :

Ghost reports:
  129.175.65.105  reported host inf-stephane.ias.u-psud.fr)

I would like to be notified if someone sets up a hobbit client and 'forgets' to tell me.


By the way, what does the BBGHOST=0 option do ?
BBGHOSTS="0"                    # How to handle status messages from unknown hosts.
                                               # 0=accept message, 1=discard message, 2=discard message and log the event

If I use the setting 0, does the message get added somewhere (and if so, where ...) ?

Thanks,
Stephane
