Re: [hobbit] Some newbie help

Once the server is up and running, for every other physical machine you want to monitor, run configure-client (only).

You should know:
the user set up that's going to run hobbit on the client - hobbit works well :D
the IP of the machine where the hobbit server was installed

the configure-client will ask you for these things when it runs and fill in the .cfg apropriately. If you tell it the name of an existing user (like say, 'hobbit') it will find it and stuff the client files into that homedir.

Adam,
I got it working with Jim's solution. When I setup hobbit I simply ran ./configure. For future reference, and seeing as how I want to install a client on an OS X machine, should I specify the ./configure -server and -client?

    Otherwise, check your sudoers file and see if wheel is the following

    %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

    If it is, then when you setup hobbit server (doing the ./configure
    –server) when it asks about the command for fping, put in sudo
    fping instead.

    **As root, you need to change the owner of "fping" to root and the
    permissions to 4755.**

    Can anyone help out a Linux newb with this error?

    Execution of '/usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae' failed - program not suid
    root?

    I am migrating our monitoring from BB installed on Windows to
    Hobbit on Linux. I was able to successfully install FC4, all of
    the Hobbit subcomponents, and Hobbit. Just this one error has me
    stumped. I thought I corrected it by adding hobbit to the WHEEL
    group on FC and then editing sudoers file to uncomment WHEEL, but
    I still have the error.
