Everything was green but when one of the devices had an ssh

the red condition in the history for the device.
I don't think that this bbnet "error" would do that. My feeling is
that this is additional information to alert you to an uncommon
mode of test failure.
Usually, if the service has stopped or the network has a problem,
the connection will either fail immediately or never complete. I
get the feeling that, in your case, the connection is succeeding,
but the remote ssh daemon is not responding quickly enough and
this is what is causing bbnet to complain.
Currently the history seems to be working fine but the
bbnet error message is still on each ssh screen for each
device.
I'd recommend doing some manual testing to get a better idea of
what's happening. From the bbnet server (as the Big Brother user),
I'd try connecting to a remote machine using a ssh client and the
bbnet binary and see if there is a significant difference in the
time that each takes. Comparing this to ssh client connections
for other users and from other machines and looking at the ssh
logs on the remote machines, may indicate why the ssh daemon is
not responding more quickly.
Cheers, Phil.
