[hobbit] client problems - connection refused

The clients don't listen on port 1984, the server does.  The clients
initiate connection to the server, not the other way around.

Subject: [hobbit] client problems - connection refused

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
