It's doing the telnet test. Look for an email in th emailing list archives
that I started and Henrik responded to.

How would I get hobbit to monitor a specific port to ensure it is
listening? For instance, I want to monitor a Java program that listens on
port 8888, but just want hobbit to check if it can connect, and then
disconnect.
How could I do this?
I've got a couple of systems on my display that are "port pings". There
may be a more efficient way to do it, but what I have in bb-hosts is:
a.b.c.d hostname.domain.com # telnet:1494
The Hobbit network tester telnets to port 1494 and either gets a
connection or not. If not, that's a red dot. I have no idea what's
supposed to be on port 1494, but there's a little bit of text returned that
says "ICA" so maybe it's a Citrix server.
On several recent occasions when it failed, the response logged was:
Service telnet on hostname.domain.com is not OK : Service unavailable
(Connection reset by peer)
