The current release- and beta-versions will not let you do that, but
I've just committed a change so you can remove any of the columns from
the client-side tests through a new tag in the bb-hosts entry. E.g. if
you want to avoid having a "msgs" status for the host foo.bar.com, then
the entry in bb-hosts would be

10.0.0.1 foo.bar.com  # NOCOLUMNS:msgs

Henrik: will this allow removal of any column? Specifically "files" and 
"ports"?  Also, if you remove all references to a column for all hosts, 
will this also remove the column header, or will you just be left with 
an empty column with no dots?
   
Not "any" column - just those that are generated form the client-side
tests. I.e. cpu, disk, memory, msgs, procs, files, ports.

It simply keeps those status-messages from being generated, so if you
remove e.g. the "files" column for all hosts, then there will not be a
"files" column on the display at all.

(I do plan to extend this so you can remove any column, and not just
those that stem from the client-side tests. But it required more changes
to the core utilities than I'm willing to do right now).
 
I see. I also just found the "--no-clear-files" option, which should 
effectively remove my files column :)
