What does a 'ps -ef|grep hobbit" show?

Hi,

I do a tcpdump on my system and it worked well, so my network isn´t a  
problem. The Hobbit Server is in the same subnetwork as the xymon  
server.

So i think my problem is on the two test clients. On the clients, a  
hobbit client is installed. Is that my problem ? Maybe i must install  
a xymon client to get data ?

regards Thorben
