Hi All,
 
This is an extract from my bb-hosts file in hobbit:
192.168.0.2 leopg9 # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://leopg9/

192.168.0.100 Leo

192.176.5.1 Duni

 
This is suddenly reported:

Tue Feb 22 17:54:10 2005 conn ok 

Service conn on Duni is OK (up)


 green <http://192.168.0.2/hobbit/gifs/green.gif>;  62.119.162.107 is alive
(0.46 ms)


A totally different IP-address. That my outside address.
I alse get an error in bbtest:
Error output:

xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable HOME

If you want to force network tests to use the IP from bb-hosts, 
then add the "testip" keyword to the bb-hosts line, or run bbtest-net
with "--dns=ip"

xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable HOME

This is unrelated, but it's an odd Unix system that does not have the
HOME environment variable defined ...

Hi again,
 
suddenly I thought of that I had changed the DNS-database this morning (I'm
looking at Postfix on the same machine).
 
So I changed that back, and suddenly the odd problem with the IP-address was
solved.
 
Regarding the problem with bbtest. Having a look at the History page, the
timebar shows green, but the columns are not updated, neither the main view.
Well I have difficulties to explain.
 
Regards
Lars

Hi again,

Off course HOME is set, but perhaps it's wrong. Should it be Hobbits home ie
/home/hobbit or the users home, that was set during installation
/home/bb/bb? Hobbit is run as bb, is it difficult to change that to hobbit?
