The clients don't listen on port 1984, the server does. The clients
initiate connection to the server, not the other way around.

Subject: [hobbit] client problems - connection refused
I'm doing a new installation of Hobbit. I followed the directions from
the web and got to "Congratulations, you now have a running Hobbit
server!" without problems.
Then I added a few clients - the Hobbit server seems to be working fine
(immediately as they showed up in the web page http and conn went green)
but I cannot seem to get the client installed and working correctly. I
tar-ed and copied the client directory to each client machine, created a
hobbit user there and setup the ~hobbit/client/ directory.
I can launch the client:
runclient.sh start
and the client/logs/clientlaunch.log shows it started; ps -ef shows
it's still running - but client/logs/hobbitclient.log is empty
I cannot telnet to the clients on port 1984 - so naturally the hobbit
server thinks bbd is dead.
Do I have to build the hobbit client on all the clients? Or have I
missed something else?
Thanks,
Frank
