Is there a way to determine what this really means...

"yellow  Thu Jul 27 05:36:54 2006 ftp NOT ok 

Service ftp on syix.com is not OK : Unexpected service response"


I manually test over and over again, and it never fails...  Always gives me
a proper response.  Hobbit shows it up again this fast:

green  Thu Jul 27 05:38:59 2006 ftp ok 

Just wondering if there is a flag or something that I can see what the
"unexpected" response really is?

Any suggestions?

/etc/bb-services define 'ftp' as below:
[ftp]
   send "quit\r\n"
   expect "220"
   options banner
   port 21

could u copy+paste your manual session here, so we can tell what is
'unexpected' ?

The response is included, so if there's no text it means just that - Hobbit got no data when it connected to the ftp service.

Some servers have been known to disconnect immediately when Hobbit
sends the "quit" command, and then Hobbit never gets the banner
that it expects. You can try changing the [ftp] section in bb-services so that you remove the     send "quit\rn"
line. The ftp test will still work, and it might give you the result
you want.
