I started the installation on the server by declaring a new client 
server on 'server/etc/bb-hosts' and then configure 
'server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg'
The client never retrieved me any information except the "conn", "info" 
& "trends" status provided by the server itself!
I decided to re-install the hobbit client with configuration on the 
client itself : It worked each time : all extra columns appeared 
according processes I'm running!

I'm not running any BB servers or client now. I'm trying to migrate to 
Hobbit

Well, it's not, it gives only "conn", "info" & "trends". Only re-install 
the hobbit client with a local conf provided me the extra columns like 
"cpu", "disk", "ntp", "procs".

 Any ideas why Linux clients retrieve information to the Hobbit server 
only with local conf and why Sun & Windows doesn't retrieve extra 
informations like "cpu", "disk", "ntp" according the configuration I put 
bellow ?

     Thanks!





Sun  localclient.cfg :
