[hobbit] check messages logfile

[Bengt Olsson]

Hello again

I think a missed something crucial here.....

I can't find the client-local.cfg file on the hobbit client, but the 
localclient.cfg file "talk" about the client-local.cfg file regaring the 
log config.

Shall I just create the client-local.cfg file and put the config there?

I tried to but the log config in the localclient.cfg file but it was 
obviously wrong.

We run hobbit-client-4.2.0-1 version,  installed from rpm package.

On the sevrer we run Hobbit 4.1.2p1.
