I'm out of time on this one but the cludge above has been tested on a handful of Solaris 10 x86 boxes (64bit), tested on global zone and child zone.
There is some info in sys/types.h and the man page for lfcompile.  xymon/hobbit version should not matter, and this is NOT a xymon issue.

STDRES="`./test-lfs-std 4`"
       if test "$STDRES" != "4:1:0" -a "$STDRES" != "8:1:0"; then

I did say cludge, right?

Regards,

Tim

Hmm, good question, Tim !

don't really know, cause it's a default csw-package CSWhobbitc ...

.. but apperently it's not enabled :-(

thanks for answer

Do you have large file support enabled when you built the xymon client on the x86 boxes?   Can you stat the file from the command line?  Sounds like lfs was not enabled in the build.

Hi !

I've monitor one file, which should be updated on 4 hosts all 15 minutes

On two host this analysis.cfg entry still works

FILE /var/heimdal/heimdal.pag  COLOR=red mtime<920


These machines are running clients with OS:
SunOS netra33 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2


But unfortunatley on  the other two machines
OS: SunOS heimdal2 5.10 Generic_141445-09 i86pc i386 i86pc

i've got errro-messages "File is missing" :-(

and a look into the client-data-msg shows :

[file:/var/heimdal/heimdal.pag]
ERROR: Value too large for defined data type


Any hint is welcome :-)

cheers

       Martin

Gruss
