Thank you. I've got a green "ssh-tunnel" now but still no other data.
I'm much closer now. ;)
I think the next problem is that the system behind the firewall is
actually two systems in a high availability configuration. While they
each have the same name on the outside, depending on if it's the
primary, or failed over, they have different names on the inside. When I
was searching around I briefly saw some setting where you could tell the
hobbit client 'use this name for yourself' but I didn't bookmark the
page, and now I'm back to searching for it.
The files in /usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp have the individual machine
short name, and /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts lists the shared
machine long name.

Subject: [hobbit] Can Hobbit talk over an ssh tunnel?
I have a client behind a fairly tight firewall that is controlled at a
much higher level than me. Getting port 1984 authorized is something
that is not going to happen, but port 22 is open going both ways. As
user "bb" on the server, or on the client, I can ssh from one system to
the other without a password prompt.
Is there a way to convince Hobbit to talk over an ssh tunnel?
Thanks for any assistance.
