Extract from README.CLIENT:

OS detection on Linux systems                                                   
-----------------------------                                                   
The client normally determines the operating system auto-                       
matically from the "uname -s" output. This results in all                       
Linux systems reporting as "Linux" - which causes the                           
vmstat graphs to fail for certain types of systems:                             
                                                                                
        - Red Hat Enterprise Linux                                              
          Should report "rhel3" instead.                                        
                                                                                
        - Systems running Linux kernels 2.2.x (Debian Woody)                    
          Should report "linux22" instead.                                      
                                                                                
To override the default, start the client using the                             
"--os=OSNAME" option to the runclient.sh startup command.

  Thanks for the info but how hobbit distinguishes the different redhat versions ?? Because the output of uname -s is the same on redhat as 2.1, 3 and 4 (ia32 or ia64) ! Or in the do_vmstat.c there is a structure called rhel3. So, does that mean Hobbit never use this structure...? 
  Anyway, the output for hp-ux is correct but I got the unknown OS message in my log. Something goes wrong somewhere. 
  Thanks for your help and your quick answer ! 
  Sincerly, 

  Thomas
