No signs of the server crashing.  The server is fine and while 
clientupdate is not working the client is fine otherwise all statuses up

It looks something like this:

client-local.cfg:

[client-host]
clientversion:sunos8.v1
file:/opt/app/apache/logs/access.log
log:/opt/app/apache/logs/error.log:10240
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
ignore srsxfer

[hobbit at hobbit download]$ ls
sunos8.v1.tar
[hobbit at hobbit download]$ pwd
/home/hobbit/server/download
