I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=conn2
    PORT   LOCAL=:2387 STATE=LISTEN "TEXT=VSAM Redirector"

Netstat reports the following (from the ports page for the conn2 host):

Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address State

There is a 2387 in the LISTEN state.  The status comes back as red and 
I can not figure out why.

Both client and server are running the RC-20060712 code.

We use something like this:

   PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]10042)" state=LISTEN TEXT=WEBMIN
   PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)" state=LISTEN TEXT=SSH
   PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]50000)" state=LISTEN TEXT=DB2

Perhaps the colon is causing issues?
