Sorry, yes the hobbit_client process is running, but sleeping (which I
guess is because it only runs every 5 minutes?
All files in the /etc/hobbit are owned by root:root with permission 644,
but I checked with another machine that only has the client running and
it is the same, so it should be fine.
/var/log/hobbit is owned by hobbit:adm and it has special permission.
They also are the default permission.
However, when I compared the actual server, with the other linux client
(I have only 1 desktop running Linux), I realized that is not reporting
the client test either.
The linux desktop I installed the client yesterday, and I just added it
yesterday to the xymon server.
Here is the interesting, if I ping the server name (FQDN) it replies
with a different FQDN. The linux server is used for several things so it
has 3 FQDN for example (imagine my domain is contoso.com)
Intranet.contoso.com
ftp.contoso.com
helpdesk.contoso.com
those are the 3 DNS A records, however the server itself should be
called intranet.contoso.com.
Could the problem be that dns reports ftp.contoso.com when the server is
intranet.contoso.com the problem?
