client problems - connection refused

[Frank Flynn]

I'm doing a new installation of Hobbit.  I followed the directions  
from the web and got to "Congratulations, you now have a running  
Hobbit server!" without problems.

Then I added a few clients - the Hobbit server seems to be working  
fine (immediately as they showed up in the web page http and conn  
went green) but I cannot seem to get the client installed and working  
correctly.  I tar-ed and copied the client directory to each client  
machine, created a hobbit user there and setup the ~hobbit/client/  
directory.

I can launch the client:

runclient.sh start

and the client/logs/clientlaunch.log shows it started;  ps -ef shows  
it's still running - but client/logs/hobbitclient.log is empty

I cannot telnet to the clients on port 1984 - so naturally the hobbit  
server thinks bbd is dead.

Do I have to build the hobbit client on all the clients?  Or have I  
missed something else?

Thanks,

Frank
