RE: [hobbit] hobbit alerting?

[Bruce Lysik <blysik (at) shutterfly.com>]

Okay, I think I found out what my alerting isn't working.  Broken mail
installation on that server.  My bad:

2005-01-12 16:10:01 Worker process died with exit code 0, terminating
WARNING: RunAsGid for MSP ignored, check group ids (egid=51, want=25)
can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

So it looks like alerts are defined correctly.  However, I'm still not
seeing them showing up in the 'info' column.
