RE: {bb} The bb_rename error problem

["Kimberly McKinnis" <kmckinnis@macrovision.com>]

Are you serious? I get this error all the time. I just grep'd my
bb-hosts file for bigbrother (hostname) as well as 10.230.19.84 (its IP)
and it only came back with the single line of my BBDISPLAY BBPAGER
BBNET. I did the same on several machines that recently gave me the same
error in BBOUT. I also looked for duplicates of those hostnames. 

I'd love to find a fix for this error, it keeps clogging up my logs.

Actually, AFAIK, this error was ALWAYS caused by having the
BBDISPLAY/BBPAGER listed multiple times in the (client/bbnet) bb-hosts
file

As someone else mentioned, also look at your bbrelays, or any other
method of causing the same host to report the same machine.test more
than once.

Look at the testname in the error message, and see if it only happens to
reports from certain clients, or from the bbnet, etc... Then look in
that bb-hosts file.

Also, since the doc's tell you to keep bb-hosts the same everywhere, you
might see this from EVERY client/test, so just check there as well.

If all else fails, send the output of:
egrep BBNET\|BBPAGER\|BBDISPLAY\|BBRELAY bb-hosts to the list

Do that on whatever machine you saw the error message with the report
from. 

Regards,
Adam
