Re: [hobbit] Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 problem - distorted data

[Chris Naude <chris.naude.0 (at) gmail.com>]

I ran into the same problem monitoring my HP-UX servers, The fix for me was
to add these lines to the hobbitserver.cfg file.

MAXLINE="32768"
MAXMSG_STATUS="2048"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="2048"
MAXMSG_DATA="2048"
