I have no problems with the Windows BB client -- I think Henrik did an
excellent job with "backwards" compatibility.

	I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I
don't recal where I saw this).  Have you tried putting BBWin on one of
the servers to see if that gives you any output?

	Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

	I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running
Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except
alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject
and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the
link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly
simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit. 

	 

	Any Ideas?
