Client update still fails to work for us. What does it do? It
downloads a clientupdate binary to the ~client/tmp directory. It can
run manually:
clientupdate --update=sunos8v14
What happens is this:
* hobbitclient.sh runs "clientupdate --update=VERSION --reexec"
This copies the clientupdate tool to the
client/tmp/.update.HOSTNAME.TIMESTAMP.tmp, makes it executable
and launches it with the options "--update=VERSION --remove-self".
The reason for this is to avoid unpacking errors if the clientupdate
utility is overwritten while running.
* The temporary binary opens a connection to the hobbit server and
uses the "download" command to fetch the file "VERSION.tar". This
file must exist in the Hobbit servers' ~hobbit/server/download/ directory.
The downloaded data is passed to a "tar xf -" command via a pipe.
So this downloads and unpacks the new client file in one operation.
* When the unpacking is complete, it exec's the (new)
client/bin/clientupdate with the "--suid-setup" option which does
nothing unless you've compiled it with a special option.
So it fails somewhere between getting the clientupdate binary and
running the clientupdate binary. Is there anything I can try to further
troubleshoot this?

Hmm - what's your BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS setting ? I've just finished
troubleshooting another problem with "bb" connecting to the wrong
servers.
BBDISP="0.0.0.0" # IP address of the Hobbit server
BBDISPLAYS="hobbit1 hobbit2" # IP of multiple Hobbit servers. BBDISP
must be "0.0.0.0".
I suppose that makes it sort of interesting, since we are configuring
the clientupdate on hobbit1 only. Both hobbits are up and running and
are up to date in regards to statuses for all the standard and
customized columns. Perhaps trying to get the tar file from hobbit2
where it does not exist causes some grief?
Is this going to be fixed for 4.2.
Yes, we all need this working for 4.2.
There seem to be quite a number of
bugs. How about a second release candidate?
I'm considering it, but haven't decided yet whether to do an extra round
of another RC release. I'll spend some time tomorrow getting an overview
of what bugs have been fixed during the RC, and then decide after that.
