On my 4.1.2p1 Hobbit sles9 server the DEFAULT settings contain an
UP-setting as follows in hobbit-client.cfg:

...
# The special DEFAULT section can modify the built-in defaults - this must
# be placed at the end of the file.
DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h 70d
        LOAD    1.0 2.0
        DISK    /mnt 101 101
        DISK    /cdrom 101 101
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97
        PROC    cron 1 0 red

On my Solaris Hobbit clients I installed the 4.1.2p1 version and
regarding the UP-setting I expect each host more than 70days up to be
yellow. However the history shows that some Solaris hosts are
yellow/green toggling..!?

It seems like a parse error, because the uptime-output on Solaris
seems to differ with linux. They are green with the following output
almost every hour:

[date]
Sun Jan 22 16:31:59 MET 2006
[uname]
SunOS sherlock 5.8 Generic_117350-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2
[uptime]
  4:31pm  up 75 day(s), 21 hr(s),  1 user,  load average: 0.26, 0.22, 0.23
...
[cut...]

and yellow with the following output:

[date]
Sun Jan 22 16:37:01 MET 2006
[uname]
SunOS sherlock 5.8 Generic_117350-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2
[uptime]
