[hobbit] moving hobbit from Ubuntu to Debian

[Henrik Stoerner]

Can you telnet to 127.0.0.1 port 1984 ? If that times out, then you have
a seriously heavy firewall setup. Something like 
   iptables -I INPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT
   iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT
should cancel out any paranoid firewall setups locally on the box, for
the loopback-interface.

Can you do a "~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 hobbitdboard" and get any
data back ?

If you're running all of the network tests locally, I think you can
get away with setting 
   BBSERVERIP="127.0.0.1"
in your hobbitserver.cfg, and let all of the communications happen on
the loopback-interface. Of course, for clients to work you'll need to
get port 1984 opened up for access from the clients. But loopback should
be ok for just getting the Hobbit server up and running.
