Art,

I've run into this kind of thing before, and this is non trivial to check
for.

a quick google found these..

http://www.unix.com/solaris/38577-how-monitor-ports.html
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-scanning-network-for-open-ports.html

if you go this scripting route the following things come immediately to mind
..

a) allow for server load, maybe it's just slow to answer

b) don't put the logic in the kiosk script, that feels like overkill (i.e.
running it for *every* WTS login request). might try running it as a cron
job (e.g. every X minutes) that removes or comments out the WTS name/IP from
the list of acceptable hosts. this could be done on a single server the
results shared across NFS.

c) make the script notify an admin there's a problem (e.g. send mail, SMS,
etc.)


hope this helps..
Curtis.
