[hobbit] New to Hobbit --- file monitoring

[Scott Mohnkern]

Okay, did a file search for hobbit-clients.cfg and found:

/etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg

Then looked in that file and found:

mohnkern at Casa-Scott:/etc/hobbit$ grep FILE hobbit-clients.cfg
#    FILE   : Changes the "files" status according to meta-data for files.
#    FILE filename [color] [things to check] [TRACK]
FILE "/etc/passwd" GREEN NOEXIST TRACK


There's also a hobbit-clients.cfg in /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc     The
entry is there as well.

However, at the hobbit screen, the file entry is still coming up grey, and
"no files being checked"
