Thanks Henrik and Chris - I am indeed running Solaris 9 x86 and changing
the "MAIL=" directive in hobbitserver.cfg did the trick.  Any chance the
configure script can be updated to do this by default on Solaris?

Henrik - when I ran the test I got the following errors:

bash-3.00$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --test
zd2sv1 vmio
2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option '--test'
2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option 'zd2sv1'
2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option 'vmio'

I am, however, still running B6 rather than RC1 as I didn't get any reply
about my conn/fping problems after I upgraded :-)  I'd link to the message
but the February archives don't seem to be up yet.  The subject was "Re:
[hobbit] Hobbit 4.0-RC1 available - conn errors" and it was sent 03/02/2005
04:24 GMT.

Thanks and regards,
Andy.
