Re: [hobbit] problem with CLASS definition (PATCH)

[Charles Jones <jonescr (at) cisco.com>]

Okay I came up with a workaround. The problem is that CONFIGCLASS gets 
reset to a default value (in hobbitclient.cfg). So, I created another 
variable, "CLASS". I then made a small mod to hobbitclient.sh that 
checks to see if CLASS got set to something, and if it did, it sets 
CONFIGCLASS to that value.  Here are the changes:
