I don't see the syntax in bb-hosts, should this be done in
hobbit-clients.cfg?

Yes, if the service is listed in /etc/services.  Use the PORT test.  If
it's non-standard, it can always be added.

Is it possible to test a TCP port on a remote machine with the Hobbit
server?  I have some applications that can't be tested with anything
standard (HTTP, SMTP, etc).  I'm just looking for a basic
acknowledgement that the TCP port is listening on the host being
monitored.

Thanks,
Josh
