Re: {bb} LDAP Monitoring Problem

[Ben Pitzer <bpitzer@gmail.com>]

Alex,

Something running from the $BBEXT directory typically indicates that
it's configured in bb-bbexttab.  I'd check there, first, and make sure
that the reference for the server in question is out of that file,
both on the BB server, and the client server.  A comment will do the
trick to start.

After removing the line from those files, restart BB, and run bbrm
again for that host/test combo, and you should see the test disappear,
and not return.

Good luck.

Regards,
Ben Pitzer
