Change of IP doesn't seem to take
list Jim Smith
Greetings all! We've been having issues with a terminal server and finally decided to change its IP address. I changed the IP address in bb-hosts and restarted hobbit, but my status page is still showing the terminal server as failing to ping and showing the old IP. I've tried everything...including reading the man pages. What am I missing? The term server is up and running fine at the moment. I still have Big Brother running and it shows correctly. Thanks!

Hobbit uses a DNS lookup to determine the IP address, unless you flag the host with "testip". Your DNS records are probably still pointing at the old IP. Regards, Henrik

I think I figured it out...it is looking at DNS and that has not been corrected yet. I created an entry in /etc/hosts and now everything looks great. So...never mind!

Greetings all!
We've been having issues with a terminal server and finally decided to
change its IP address. I changed the IP address in bb-hosts and
restarted hobbit, but my status page is still showing the terminal
server as failing to ping and showing the old IP. I've tried
everything...including reading the man pages. What am I missing?
The term server is up and running fine at the moment. I still have Big
Brother running and it shows correctly.
Thanks!

Check also the /etc/hosts if you're using it it could be the problem for the old ip...

Thanks...my manual entry for the new IP in /etc/hosts is what clued me to the cause. I've now added "# testip" and removed the entry from /etc/hosts. I'm embarrassed...I should have known better! <grin> Later!
