RE: [hobbit] client talks to bbd@127.0.0.1:1984 ?!

Check the server's /etc/hosts file.    RH has a bad habit of setting the
fqdn to 127.0.0.1.....   In my opinion, the server's fqdn should be the
external IP address, and only "localhost" should be 127.0.0.1....

 

Not certain this is your issue, I'll give my hunch a 50% success guess
:-)

hi, there,
I have both client & server of 4.2-RC-20060712 on Redhat Linux 9. Other
RHL9 clients work fine. One, mysteriously,  failed to start.
hobbitclient.log shows it tries to bond with 127.0.0.1:1984, as fails
miserably. As in other clients, I define the bb server's IP address in
/etc/default/hobbit-client.  -x execution of the init script seems it
did source the /etc/default/hobbit-client and got the correct bb server
IP address. Any idea ? This RH9 boxen doesn't have bind-util package
installed, that's the only difference I can think of.
