 I'm sure you'll get many responses, but we added the following to
bb-services:

 [rdp]

   port 3389

 Once you've added this, if you include the tag "rdp" in bb-hosts, it will
test to see if the RDP listener is active on the host in question.  I'm
interested if there are better clientless tests myself.
Heh - I didn't even think about that when I switched from BB to Hobbit.  I
just carried over the "telnet:1494" tag for a couple of our hosts and found
it worked quite well.  I *think* there's a Citrix server on that port, given
that it returns "ICA" along with a few binary characters.

I guess I should do that check properly...  :)
