RE: [hobbit] Logfile not accessible

["James Wade" <jkwade (at) futurefrontiers.com>]

The group membership has always been the same.
I've never changed it, and the group membership and ownership
of the logfiles, both working and non-working are the same.

How does Hobbit look at log files? A standard Cat, Grep, Tail?

Can anyone give me a way to debug this?

Thanks.....James

But, if you changed the hobbit user's group memberships since you last 
restarted the hobbit client, you would receive the new group when logging
in, 
but the client would still be running without that group.

So, try restarting the client.
