The IP/host of the rhel5 client would normally be added to the Xymon server (rhel4) bb-hosts file.

Folks
I installed the Xymon client on a Red Hat 5 server. It is showing up in the Ghost report with the 127.0.0.1 IP address. I don't see where in the configuration files to set the IP address and/or the host name for the client. Can someone point me to the right place?
We run Hobbit on a Red Hat 4 server. If I should be running a different client for the RHEL5 box, I'd appreciate a link to where I can get it.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Cathy
