[hobbit] hobbit, file and bbwin question

After thinking about this I also had the same problem where the
clientlocal.cfg had nothing in the file.
The problem was the order of the entries in the client-local.cfg file.
I had put my hostname specific entry after the OS [win32] entry and that did
not work. [win32] is blank and so the blank clientlocal.cfg file
mailrelay.math.purdue.edu is my Win host and so now I have
[mailrelay.math.purdue.edu]
file:c:\testbbwin
before
[win32]
>From the client-local.cfg on the server it say:
# The client-local.cfg file contains configuration for
# the Hobbit clients running on monitored systems. When
# clients contact the Hobbit server, they get the section
# from this file which matches their hostname or operating
# system
The key word is "or" in the forth line "hostname or operating". I believe
what it matches first is what will get used and searching stops or at least
that is what I saw.
Hope this helps
