Re: [hobbit] Hobbit Login Credentials

According to the rpm spec file a user called hobbit is created, but no password is assigned to it. Some password would need to be assigned in order for the account to work, so I would have to guess that that was done.

If Hobbit was installed from source, the same rationale applies. A 'hobbit' (maybe) user was created and a password was assigned.

changing it. Thanks.

Fixing that would be easy, if you have command line access to the machine. If not, you may be stuck. So can you telnet, ssh, scp or rlogin at all?

If they set up any other machines (like Hobbit clients) try the hobbit user passwords from those systems.

The only thing that Hobbit requires a login for is certain administrative functions, like enabling and disabling tests. Is that what you are referring to? Or is it access to the machine that Hobbit 

is running on?

Hello,



I had a consulting firm setup Hobbit monitoring for my company and
they
literally closed down business over night without giving me the login
id
and password. Is there any way you may be able to help me regain administration access?



Thank you.
