RE: [hobbit] N00b starting to use Hobbit

Hi.

Did you configure the file /etc/default/hobbit-client to include the correct IP address on the linux machines?

I think that the client doesn't listen if you've configured the client to send the data instead of cache'ing it.
(unless you are using a server on each machine, in which case you have to proxy it forward to the main server).

As for starting the client, I usually just run once '/etc/init.d/hobbit-client start' to get it running.

The user "hobbit" should not have any extra special priv's unless you've configured your system to be anal in security.

I use the hobbit-client package on my Linux clients and I don't have any hobbitd processes running, only hobbitlaunch. From that information I would gather that you have installed a server. Thus to get the information about your system out to the main hobbit, linux wise, you have to configure your hobbitlaunch.cfg file to act as a proxy and forward all the messages to the main hobbit monitor.

I don't know if this answers any of your questions, but this is the answer to the question that I think you're asking.

With regards,

In fact, any of my hobbitd is running on the clients.
I started them with "client/runclient.sh start" but nothing listen in port 1984.
/etc/services should be modified or something else ?
The user "hobbit" should have special priviledges ?

It happens to me on linux & with bbwin on Windows.

   Thanks by advance
