I tried doing what you suggested but I can't persuade the client to read
the data from the server.
I have the following on the server in the client-local.cfg file:
[nms4.lon.oss.colt.net]
svc:/network/ssh:default|svc:/site/tftpd:default
And this is in the bb-hosts file:
10.44.85.209 nms4.lon.oss.colt.net # ssh
Yet after restarting both server and client I only get this in the
~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.nms4.lon.oss.colt.net.cfg:
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
log:/var/log/syslog:10240
It takes a while for the client-local.cfg settings to percolate over to
the client itself (a: hobbitd has to reload the file, b: the client has
to contact the Hobbit server and pickup the setting, c: it won't take
effect until the next run of the client) - up to 15 minutes.
And of course - it assumes you're running the clients with server-side
configuration. Some still prefer to keep configuration settings on the
clients.
