[hobbit] /var/adm/messages, Not noifying

Two config files need to be modified in Hobbit for log-file alerting:
1) client-local.cfg, which controls _which files_ will be parsed for
alerting
2) hobbit-clients.cfg, which controls _how_ the logs will be parsed

There is a section in the Hobbit help files which explain how to set these
two files up.  Please post the contents of these files if you're still
having problems.  It took me a little trial-and-error to get log alerting to
work right, but once I got it set up, it's a piece of cake to any anything
new.
