Today I change the BBGHOSTS to a value of 0 (it was 1) in hobbitserver.cfg. After making that change I sarted seeing messages in my hobbitd.log for a few hosts that read as follows:
Hostname '%%' in tree, but no host-info

'bin/bb $BBDISP:$BBPORT "hobbitdboard host=%%"' returns nothing. I tried a 'bin/bb $BBDISP:$BBPORT "drop %%"' and it was no help. So what tree are these devices in and how do I get them out ? Hobbit 4.20 + allinone patch.

Thank you for you assistance,

After doing some more digging I found that the hobbitserver.cfg documents BBGHOSTS values; 0, 1, 2. The man page only documents 1 & 2. So I tried a value of 2. My errors in the hobbitd.log changed to informational entries under Ghost Reports. But if I try to run the command, '$BB $BBDISP:
$BBPORT "hobbitdboard host=ghostserver"', nothing is returned. I have to actually make an entry in the etc/bb-hosts for hobbitdboard to return anything.

Is this the expected behavior ?

Thank you,
