<br><font size=2><tt>Hi Henrik<br>
<br>
Here's an interesting bug.<br>
Or at least I think it's a bug.<br>
I set the MAXMSG_CLIENT to 1024, and it fixed the problem I was having.<br>
(See below)<br>
<br>
Later on, I had to restart the server, and it crapped out.<br>
I remember that sometimes deleting ~hobbit/server/tmp/* before a startup<br>
can fix things, so I gave it a try.<br>
Still no go.<br>
I then restarted it with --debug, and the only log file getting written<br>
to was hobbitlaunch.log (See extract below)<br>
<br>
I then reversed the only thing that had changed - removed the<br>
MAXMSG_CLIENT entry, and it all started up fine.<br>
<br>
A bug? Or a PEBKAC?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Vernon<br>

Hi all<br>
<br>
Despite my best efforts, my procs page remains purple.<br>
I found this in the hobbitd page - which also remains yellow.<br>
(Server name changed to pluto)<br>

I am assuming that the output from the ports and procs test is too<br>
large.<br>
How do we make Hobbit happy with the larger message?<br>
This machine is a proxy server, so we can expect many procs and a long<br>
ports output.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Vernon<br>
