[xymon] Repeat: Client test problems on Xymon server 4.2.3

[Ryan Novosielski]

Ah! Yes it is. It did not occur to me that the network test machines didn't run hobbitd. I will give that a try.

Note that I can't get the machine that DOES run hobbitd to work right in this regard either, but I'll ask another question about that if need be.

The "NEEDS hobbitd" line means that the "hobbitd" task must be started,

before "hobbitclient" will run. Since there is no "hobbitd.log" in 

that directory either, I assume you have disabled the "hobbitd" task.

Perhaps this is a server that only runs network tests ?



Anyway, remove the "NEEDS hobbitd" line, and it should start up

just fine.
