Not complaining.  I couldn't get the SRPM on cooker to compile and work
either, so I thought I would try that...

The CS4 distro doesn't include a hobbit server rpm, so I need to build
one no matter what (at least, our private mirror doesn't have a tree
with that RPM...)

Yeah, I found it, but I don't have glibc-devel available on CS4, so I've
got to find the appropriate SRPM and rebuild it so I can install a
-devel package.

I've tried it on 2006 and CS3 as well, and have not yet been able to get
one to work.

None.  I wanted to see if I could just get hobbitd to listen on 1984
before I got anything else set up.

I've got several, so if you need me to do somthing I'm glad to do it.
