"socklen_t" is one of those POSIX datatypes that apparently don't
exist on some of the "earlier" Unix'es. For a quick fix, edit the
lib/sendmsg.c file and on line 318 replace "socklen_t" with "int".

However, for the client to work you'll need to create a
client/hobbitclient-osf.sh script to collect the information from
your system; you can probably use one of the existing scripts
as a template. When you have that script working, the hobbitd_client 
needs an update to recognize the data you send to it, so send me
a copy of the output from your client script, and I'll work it
into the back-end module.

The most tricky stuff in the client appears to be getting the 
information about total and available RAM; at least, that is
the area where I had to do some work on the client. Apart from
that, just make sure you get a good "ps" listing and a "df" 
output that has one line per filesystem.
