Perhaps the first thing to say is that the bb-hosts file has very
little effect on client-side testing. Despite that host only occurring
once, BB could still be confused by multiple clients trying to report
using that name.

If you have not done so already, I would confirm that all BB processes
stop cleanly on the display server before starting again. I would then
stop the client on "cousteau" and either wait for all client tests to
turn purple or repeat your "bbrm" procedure. After that, wait for a
couple of testing cycles to ensure that nothing else is reporting with
that name.

It might also help to know more about the BB servers that are running.
Is the RedHat machine the only server that you have, or are there any
additional ones or "failover" servers? Also, what version of RedHat
is the display server running?

It is probably also advisable to consider upgrading BB to the recent
version. 1.9c is fairly old now and, while it may not be causing the
problem that you are seeing, the upgrade should be worthwhile for
many other reasons.

Cheers, Phil.
