[hobbit] moving hobbit from Ubuntu to Debian

[Henrik Stoerner]

Login as the hobbit user, then run
   ./server/bin/bbcmd bbgen --debug | less
A bit into that log is where bbgen tries to fetch the current status
from the Hobbit daemon. It looks like this:

2006-06-01 00:02:24 load_state()
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Transport setup is:
2006-06-01 00:02:24 bbdportnumber = 1984
2006-06-01 00:02:24 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2006-06-01 00:02:24 bbdispproxyport = 0
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Recipient listed as '127.0.0.1'
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Will connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 1984
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Connect status is 0
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Sent 118 bytes
2006-06-01 00:02:24 Read 3364 bytes

Does it report the right IP-address as the 'Recipient' ?
