[hobbit] hobbit-clients configuration not taking

[Josh Luthman]

Suggesting that the bbc is capable of labeling tests.  The hobbit-clients'
data is staying clear.

two.myhost.com does have data and it is [ps] and [msgs:/var/log/messages]

one.myhost.com and three.myhost.com has no data on the server.

hobbitclient.log is full of:
2009-09-09 14:38:44 Failed to get a message, terminating

$bb server.fqdn.com ping #this command works
hobbit-4.2.0

This is running a CentOS release 5.2 (Final) and CentOS release 5 (Final)
respectively - "Red Hat Linux".

One thread on the archives was able to fix it by installing the Debian
package.  Obviously I can't do that.  The strange part is I executed the
exact same commands across all three - the same ones I put up here
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration_Guide/Compiling_on_CentOS

Perhaps there is a package missing of some sort?  Is there a way to get more
detailed logs from the hobbitclient.log?
