{bb} Disabling with 1.9h-btf

[Andrew Culver <aculver@uwo.ca>]

I'm running BB 1.9h-btf on RedHat Enterprise Linux AS 3. I'm trying to 
disable service using maint.pl 2.9. I have RUNOPTS="ENABLE_DISABLE" in 
my bbdef-server.sh and I've restarted bbd since adding that.

My setup is a bit strange, as the BBDISPLAY host isn't the same as the 
machine running httpd. I've installed BB on the httpd machine, but all 
it really does it allow maint.pl to look at configs, bbd isn't running 
on this machine. The BBDISPLAY machine writes the html files and the 
bbvar files to an NFS mounted web area where the httpd can read them.

Everything is working fine, except I can't disable anything. When I use 
maint.pl with my browser, it is sending the commands back to the 
BBDISPLAY host, which I can see with tcpdump, but the services don't get 
disabled.

I've also tried sending disable commands directly to the BBDISPLAY 
machine on port 1984 like so:

bash-2.02$ echo "disable winter.uwo.ca* 120 testing" | telnet 
orwell.its.uwo.pri 1984
Trying 172.29.17.34...
Connected to orwell.its.uwo.pri.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I've tried sending the command directly to bb on the BBDISPLAY machine:

[bigbro@orwell bin]$ echo "disable winter.uwo.ca* 120 test2" | ./bb 
orwell.its.uwo.pri -

Still the winter.uwo.ca displays as red in on the webpage. Nothing 
appears in BBOUT to indicated bbd is doing anything about my command. 
Nothing is appearing in my $BBVAR/disabled directory, but it is writable 
for bb.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA!
