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

["Jerry Yu" <jjj863 (at) gmail.com>]

client named web6 has "127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain localhost"
server named moon has "127.0.0.1       moon    localhost moon.giggle.com"

The server works fine for a dozen of clients. This web6 client is the only
one has this behavior and not sure where it gets the idea it should connect
to localhost instead of the server I told it to in
/etcdefault/hobbit-client?!
