Here is a ‘grep’ of bb-hosts:
[root at monitorp etc]# grep -i cswflex4 bb-hosts
0.0.0.0 cswflex4.csw.L-3com.com
128.170.31.14 cswflex4.csw.L-3com.com # conn
0.0.0.0 cswflex4.csw.l-3com.com
0.0.0.0 cswflex4.csw.l-3com.com
[root at monitorp etc]#
I cannot find a second entry with an IP address.
I have hundreds of other servers with 0.0.0.0 entries so I cannot figure out what is happening?
Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.5 on Dell R-610.
I tried to do a ‘drop hostname’, could there be a duplicate in the Xymon data base?
If so, how do you remove the bad one so you don’t loose the history being gathered by the client on the Windows server.
The client is the big brother client.

It says the duplicate is in bb-hosts. Grep bb-hosts for that hostname. If you have 'include'd files grep those, too. You should be able to verify the duplicate and maybe even find it.
