client runs from client/bin/hobbitlaunch insted of 
server/bin/hobbitlaunch, I have commented out [hobbitclient] from 
server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

It seems to work, I got disk/mem/proc reports, but of course 
hobbitd_client is blinking RED.

Ee. Doesn' work:

No, there is not! ('cat bb-hosts | grep bbd' no output)
