[hobbit] client-local.cfg not propagating

[Peters, Ron]

Well, the client is actually installed vi cfengine.  It pulls down the files into the hobbit directory with proper permissions and it does this on all of our clients.  This client is the same OS/config as the last one I installed but it is having the problem.  I've also noted that the client has tons of free disk.

The listing in the client-local.cfg isn't specific to client name, it is based on a group (linux in this case).

Is there any way to manually duplicate what the client is doing when downloading this info to get some debugging output?

Possibly filespace or permissions problems in the client computer's hobbit tmp directory?

You don't have a typo in client-local.cfg where you mispelled the name of the client you want to do the downloading?

Hello all,

I have a client that isn't receiving the client-local.cfg information.  The 'files' and 'msgs' categories are reported as 'clear' since there is no data on which to base a status.

I've re-installed the client, uninstalled and copied the directory from a working client, and re-installed a working client to validate that it isn't a server issue.  What would cause a client to NOT download this configuration?

Any thoughts?

Thanks
