hi,

there should be a bb-central set of script at deadcat.net.
those scripts works the following :
the server generates scripts to collect th edatas on the clients.
the scripts are copied then executed via scp/ssh on the client.
the server parses the datas collected, and push the infos to the hobbit 
server.
this tool was created to work with bigbrother, but you can certainly use 
them with hobbit.
start with a small config, as you can have some bugs because these are 
quite old.

hope this'll help.
