Thanks for the help. I edited /etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg so the line reads:<br><br>FILE /etc/passwd GREEN noexist<br><br>still no joy. <br><br>Is there anyone on the list that has an example of a FILE line in their hobbit-clients.cfg

<div></div>When all else fails, nuke it and start over. I did an apt-get
remove hobbit, and then a dpkg -- purge. Then I removed any files I
could find. Then I downloaded the Ubuntu deb file and installed
it. It put the configuration files in /etc/hobbit and it started fine
<br><br>I edited /etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg and added the following
line:<br><br>PROC ntpd 1 99 green "TEXT=NTPD is up"<br><br><br>Restarted
hobbit, and in a few minutes, it started reporting as expected.<br><br>Then I
added:<br><br>PORT "LOCAL=%(:8888)" TEXT="Gnump is up"<br><br>To the same
file, (/etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg) and restared hobbit.<br><br>A few
minutes later, the ports section started reporting, as expected.
<br><br>(Though I realize that its a bit off, which I need to
fix)<br><br><br>Then I added:<br><br>FILE /etc/passwd GREEN NOEXIST
track<br><br>Reading the documentation inside hobbit-clients.cfg I edited
/etc/hobbit/client- local.cfg and added the following
line:<br>file:/etc/passwd<br><br>restarted hobbit, waited 5 minutes. No
luck.<br><br><br>I'm pretty convinced that either:<br><br>1. the format of the
line in /etc/hobbit/client-local.cfg or /etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg
is incorrect, or<br>2. There's something else I need to
edit.<br><br></blockquote></span></div></div>
