Re: [hobbit] Linux clients

[Greg Hubbard <glh.forums (at) gmail.com>]

The client does not require privilege.  If you have access to ANY modern
Solaris machine with the required stuff (gcc, gmake, perl, etc.) you should
be able to compile the client using the method provided.  Once done, you can
make a tarball of the client directory (and subdirectories) and then install
this on any other Solaris machine and it should work after a little bit of
configuration.  This is how I have distributed many Solaris clients -- I
copied up the client directory on the Solaris server machine.  In fact, I
believe that Xymon supports a variation of this method for distributing
client updates once you have a client working.

Caveat -- you have to have the same architecture -- so don't try to run
something compiled for a SPARC on x86, and vice versa.
