clientupdate problems on aix

[Mirko Saam]

Hi,

i just tried the clientupdate feature for an aix box,
but it failed for several reasons

* The client build process (make install as root)
installs serveral files with the "wrong" gid of root
("system" for aix). The clientupdate runs as
hobbit:hobbit (in my case) and therefore can't overwrite
these files.

* bin/hobbitclient-*sh have no user write permissions, so tar fails again

* While previous errors can easily be fixed, this one seems
more tricky:

tar: can't create bin/hobbitlaunch: Text file busy
2006-08-17 14:03:54 Upgrade failed, tar exited with status 256

Its because Aix can't overwrite an executing program and
the hobbitclient is running during the update?! A manual update
"clientupdate <version> --reexec" with a stopped client works fine.

Btw, thanks for the great new release!

Regards,
Mirko
