[hobbit] xymon pluggin not working on server

[Rich Smrcina]

The host name of the server isn't going to matter to the client, the 
client is configured to talk to the server via its IP address.

Is the IP address of the server correct in the Linux client 
configuration file (in your case 
/etc/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg)?  Check the ghost report on the 
server to see if any ghosts appear.  Do they match any of the Linux 
clients that we are discussing?
