style='font-size:12.0pt;color:blue'>Hobbit Central is a good alternative to a “client”.
It runs on a local server and reaches out to the remote servers collecting data
and then reporting back to the hobbit server. The only problem is that it
was created for Big Brother and not Hobbit. The solution, or so I
thought, was to port it, but that didn’t work out for me so I wrote my
own script called hobcen, but it doesn’t work well for a large number of
remote hosts, so I am rewriting it to support a large number of remote hosts
and I am writing it in C and not shell script for efficiency and sanity
reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;color:blue'>I am working on this now and I had hoped to
have it out already, but life has suddenly gotten in the way. I should
have something to release in the next couple of weeks and will announce that
when I am ready. Keep in mind, however, that there are security concerns
with using hobcen as is relies on a shared public key to make an ssh connection
so anyone that can get onto your hobbit server can get on anywhere. To
some a minor concern, others a major one.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>while
looking out for a good infrastructure monitoring solution i noticed the new

<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>However,
as far as i am noticed, there is no client software, except those found at
sourceforge, but i cant compile this stuff on my HPUX machines. Is there
probably a way known by someone? Any tips? If not, is there a plan to develop
client software for another platforms such HPUX or WINTEL? I have to use
BB clients at the moment, but i would prefer to use some kind of GPL software..</span></font>
