Another common problem, make sure the name in your bb-hosts file is exactly
the same as is being reported by the client, if the client is a *nix system
this will be the name returned by uname -n. If you don't want the fully
qualified name on the Hobbit web pages use the NAME: tag (see bb-hosts man
page) to change the display name.

Two things to check first, first can you connect on port 1984, try to
telnet from the client to the Hobbit server? Secondly, set the flag on
hobbitd that will cause it to report unknown hosts, I can't remember what it
is off the top of my head, look at the hobbitd man page.

Hello again all,
To re-visit my question about the hobbit client, I have done the
following:
- downloaded and compiled the hobbit client on a SEPERATE machine from
the hobbit server
server = hercules
client = castor
- put an entry in bb-hosts on the server (hercules) for the client
(castor) that looks like this:
10.10.0.6 castor # trace
- configured hobbitclient.cfg on the client to look like this:
BBDISP="10.10.0.13" # IP address of the Hobbit server
- started the hobbit client on the client machine (castor)
I get NO client data. All I get is the tests that are originated from
the server (conn,info,trends)
Any ideas?
thank
