I am trying to install hobbit in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server. I
talked earlier with Red Hat and they say that they don't support rpm which
are not downloaded from the Red Hat network.
I run rhel3/rhel4 boxes and rebuild the rpm's provided from the
sourceforge website. I rebuild the .src.rpm. There are a few
dependencies not provided by RHN that I had to use the Dag repo for.

For security reasons I should not run hobbit as root. I understand that, but
should I run the installation as root, or as hobbit?
Run the processes as hobbit. The above RPMs will create the hobbit
user (if it doesn't exist) and run the processes as the hobbit user.
Which would be the best folder for installation? I know this is a bit more
The one the rpm's use are decent enough to base your deployment from:
/usr/lib/hobbit
/var/lib/hobb
/etc/hobbit
Those are the main dirs used by the server and client rpms.
