[hobbit] Solaris clients don't report

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi Brian

>From memory, SuSE comes with almost every port and service blocked or off by default.
I do not believe hobbit requires any unix services to be running - it does its own thing, however, you will need to make sure the ports are open.
Even with telnet deactivated, you should still be able to telnet to the appropriate port - 1984 in this case.

Snoop is your friend. I think it's tcpdump on SuSE, but it has been many years since I touched a SuSE installation, so I could be wrong.

Cheers

I have similar issues on SuSE SLES 10 servers and vms.  The processes are, no firewalls.  This is a security server set, so a lot of services are turned off .  I cant telnet on port 1984 just fine, coming back - there is no telnetd enabled...  My question is = what, if any network services are required from the server to have hobbit communications work.  I have had absolutely no difficulty with my sun servers, even coming through the firewall from the DMZ.

Anyone have this info please?

thanks

Being able to run the BigBrother client has only negated the need to check step 7.
Please continue, and perform check 5. and 6.
As you have stated, you are running an RC version.
It is possible you have stumbled upon a bug of some sort, unique to your build.

Use snoop to check the client is sending, and again on the server to ensure it is receiving.
