Hiya

I am using mbmon in  telnet mode to monitor some print servers 
remotely.

REvcently I moved the monitoring form one server to another, but now 
the telnet probe only works from the command line.  Any probe 
originating from a cron job gets no data in the reply (normally via 
mrtg, but I tried a direct telnet call as a cron job and it also got 
no data as a reply).

Yes, the connection is made.  mbmon is running on the targets.

This is affecting 3 target print servers.

I tried running the probe on the original server and it worked as 
usual.

where to look?
