I hope so but, just for completeness, I add some details.

The trace that you supplied suggests that the machine in
question does not have a server directive (BBDISPLAY, BBNET
or BBPAGER) listed for that machine in the bb-hosts file for
the server software. Essentially, the BB server start-up
scripts process the line for the local machine from the
bb-hosts file, does not see a server directive and stops.

In this case, the resulting message "Big Brother 1.9i started"
is a little misleading. If, however, one of the server parts
does start, it should also report it like so:

  Starting Big Brother Daemon (bbd)...
  Starting Network tests (bb-network)...
  Starting Display process (bb-display)...

Cheers, Phil.
