All,


I just spent way too much time too late at night to be doing this,
trying to figure out why my CentOS 5.1 VM had a "clear" under the
"msgs" column, despite having implemented the standard modification to
hobbitclient.sh and put the proper entry in /etc/sudoers.
Well, I normally just provide the hobbit user with access to the relevant log 
files with standard unix permission changes.

E.g., on a default Fedora-like installation, this should be sufficient:

# gpasswd -a hobbit adm

(although you could rather consider changing group ownership on the log files 
instead).
