Hello Sigurður,

Thanks for all your information.
I'm just would like to run a hobbit server with a bunch of client.

I'm using a home compiled version of the hobbit client/server so I don't have any /etc/init.d/hobbit-client nor /etc/default/hobbit-client
I usually have this error

cat logs/hobbitclient.log
    No LSB modules are available.
    2007-09-20 16:42:10 Failed to get a message, terminating
    No LSB modules are available.
    2007-09-20 16:47:10 Failed to get a message, terminating

I really wonder why any of my client could connect to the server.
Can I paste some configuration file to help ?

Ok, it's a simple users here.

   Thanks by advance
