I think I noticed why this isn't working on my new server. After installing the server I had all of the statuses that one would normally only expect to see if you had the client installed (cpu, memory, msgs, etc). So I assumed that the client was running also, but it's not.  Do I need to compile and run the client as well on the server, just to get the ports checks to work?

I'm trying to make that darn white ports dot go away (until Henrik adds the "noports" option) on my freshly installed hobbit server (latest snapshot).

Snippet of my hobbit-clients.cfg
HOST=my-hostname-1
    PORT LOCAL=%([.:]22^) STATE=LISTEN "TEXT=SSH listener" color="yellow"
    PORT LOCAL=%([.:]22^) STATE=ESTABLISHED MAX=10 TRACK=ssh "TEXT=SSH" color="yellow"
    PORT LOCAL=%([.:]8080^) STATE=LISTEN "TEXT=Apache SSL Server" color="yellow"
    PORT LOCAL=%([.:]8080^) STATE=ESTABLISHED MAX=20 TRACK=apache TEXT=apache color="yellow"

Do I have something wrong there? I still have the white dot of doom :)
Here is a snippet of the actual netstat output that is displayed on the ports page:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22                  0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN
