I am running Red Hat release 4 and the latest snapshot.  I am also

ALL the services that are alarming not just the alert I was interested
in.  Any idea what I can do to debug?

That would usually mean that the cookie used by the bb-ack CGI to 
determine what page or host you were looking at is missing. Maybe
you have cookies disabled in your browser policy ?

The cookies are not disabled.  Viewing the cookies in firefox I can see that the host cookie does NOT contain the hostname.  It does contain the hostname on a working server.  
So I installed the last test release from xymon.com web page.  It also exhibits the same problem.  I would guess that it is a permission problem since I have to correct numerous files to get the server and client to work properly.  Here are the files I have to correct and error messages:

Make install:

../build/convert-bbservices /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-services
make[1]: execvp: ../build/convert-bbservices: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install-config] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/trunk/bbnet'
make: *** [install-bbnet] Error 2
[root at hobbit2 trunk]# chmod +x build/convert-bbservices
[root at hobbit2 trunk]# make install

[root at hobbit2 web]# pwd
/home/hobbit/server/web

[root at hobbit2 web]# for file in *header; do ln -sf bb_header $file; done
ln: `bb_header' and `bb_header' are the same file
[root at hobbit2 web]# for file in *footer; do ln -sf bb_footer $file; done
ln: `bb_footer' and `bb_footer' are the same file

[root at hobbit2 ~]# service hobbitclient start
[root at hobbit2 ~]# chmod +x /home/hobbit/client/*sh
[root at hobbit2 ~]# chmod +x /home/hobbit/client/bin/*
[root at hobbit2 ~]# service hobbitclient start
Starting hobbitclient: Hobbit client for linux started on hobbit2
hobbitclient started.

Could be I only needed to chmod +x the runclient.sh file and not the client bin files but I didn't look and I forgot if it was either or both.

Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if some permission is missing some where that is causing the bb-ack to not work properly but I do not know what?
