Check that you have "BBHOSTS=2" set in hobbitserver.cfg in the server
side. If not, change it and restart Hobbit. Wait 5 minutes, then check
the "hobbitd" status to see if your client is listed there - if it is,
then the hostname used by the client doesn't match what is in bb-hosts.


On the client side, see if you can telnet to the Hobbit server on port
1984. If not, something is blocking data from going to your Hobbit
server.


Finally, on the client you can try this. On the Hobbit SERVER, login as
the "hobbit" user and run

bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=client grep "@@"

Then on the CLIENT, setup the Hobbit client environment settings with:
$ HOBBITCLIENTHOME=/usr/lib/hobbit/client bbcmd --env=/usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

Then try running the command that sends a status to the server:
$ $BB $BBDISP "@" <$BBTMP/msg.txt

On the Hobbit SERVER, you should then see the header of the client
message, like this:

@@client#506|1145699641.027178|127.0.0.1|localhost|linux


Does that give you any ideas ?
