| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| BBPORT | TCP port used by Big Brother. Default is obviously 1984. |
| FQDN | Are the status logs reported by the clients in a Fully Qualified Domain Name format ? If FQDN is set to TRUE, then hosts will be displayed as www.bb4.com otherwise they will be displayed as www. If you set FQDN=FALSE, make sure that no two clients share the same host name i.e. www. If FQDN=TRUE then make sure your hostnames in the bb-hosts file are also in an FQDN format. |
| BBSLEEP | This is the interval to wait before recreating the main BB HTML pages: bb.html / bb2.html. This interval is in seconds. |
| BBTMP | The directory where to save temporary files |

| BBWEBHOST | The is the htpp://some.host.com portion of your Big Brother installation URL. |
| BBWEB | This is the directory path of the URL of your BB installation. It is used in conjunction with the BBWEBHOST variable to create the complete URL of your BB installation. |

| BBLOGSTATUS | Status logs can be converted immediately into an HTML page if BBLOGSTATUS=STATIC. If it is set to DYNAMIC then the status logs will be rendered into HTML when you click on a colored dot. This is useful when you have a lot of hosts and want to minimize the resources used by the BBNTD program. |

| PURPLEDELAY | This is the delay, in minutes, before a status log is declared outdated. If a status log hasn't been updated after PURPLEDELAY minutes, the status log will change to a purple dot. This in turn may generate a notification depending on the value of PAGELEVELS. |
