Hi
Could you check the rights of the directory /var/log/
Maybe hobbit can t go inside.

Hello.
I have a slight problem with the msgs test.
This is what shows up in the client data:
[msgs:/var/log/messages]
Cannot open logfile /var/log/messages : Permission denied
But these are the permissions for the /var/log/messages:
-rwxr-x--- 1 root admin 216864 Mar 13 12:19 /var/log/messages
And as you see, hobbit is a member of the admin group
# id hobbit
uid=504(hobbit) gid=505(hobbit) groups=505(hobbit),506(admin)
And the hobbit client is indeed running as that user (output from
ps, unneccesary parts omitted)
hobbit 3781 [...] /usr/libexec/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch [..]
Any ideas?
Regards,
Benedikt
