Re: [hobbit] purple clients problem

If you don't see any such message, then the hostname that the client
reports is not listed in bb-hosts - you can see the "ghost" hostname
in the status for the hobbit servers' "hobbitd" column.


I did the test, and I could see that the purple machines were not polled
by the server!


Please try setting BBGHOSTS to "2" in hobbitserver.cfg. Restart Hobbit,
and after 10 minutes check the "hobbitd" column on the Hobbit server.
Are there any hosts listed there ?

Yes, all my missig clients are listed as ghost + 2 clients which are at both places (as ghosts and showing green dimonds)+ 1 client that just turned to purple.

in ghosts file IP numbers are translated to nonqualified names - if compared with bb-hosts:

in bb-hosts:
----
130.225.128.126   sieglinde.imada.sdu.dk
130.225.128.167   zaira.imada.sdu.dk

----
in ghosts:
130.225.128.126 reported host sieglinde
130.225.128.167 reported host zaira
-----

I checked bb-hosts for special characters, and there are places where I use tabs instead of spaces - but it doesn't seem to have an influence.


hobbitd_client runs with --debug option, and the clientdata.log says:
----
2006-01-09 11:35:17 Semaphore wait aborted: Interrupted system call
2006-01-09 11:35:49 Setting up client channel (id=7)


I think you put the "--debug" on the wrong part of the command in
hobbitlaunch.cfg. It must be at the end, like this:

CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/clientdata.log hobbitd_client --debug 

That's right! Now data i log ar quite different!

Is it something special I have to look for?
