RHEL3 Client runs for 30minutes then stops sending data

[Aaron Stranberg]

All,
I have a rhel3 system running the hobbit-4.2.0 client, it was installed from
source.  After invoking it with ./runhobbit.sh as the hobbit user the client
runs long enough to return good data for the preset check (cpu/mem/etc...)
to my hobbit host.  After around 30minutes all agent based tests turn
purple.  I see nothing of interest in the log files:

2007-07-13 17:19:10 hobbitlaunch starting
2007-07-13 17:19:10 Loading tasklist configuration from
/usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

ps -ef |grep hobbit shows:
root     29225 18127  0 17:18 pts/3    00:00:00 su - hobbit
hobbit   29226 29225  0 17:18 pts/3    00:00:00 -bash

root     29540 14345  0 17:24 pts/5    00:00:00 grep hobbit


I tried applying the all in one patch and recompiling with make then make
install to no avail.  Any suggetions on how to continue trouble shooting
would be helpful.  Also tcpdump on the host sytem and the client system show
only a short burst of information being sent over port 1984 when the clients
first starts then nothing after that.

Thanks
