One thing I've noticed with netstat is a lot of people don't use the -n argument, causing things like "http" or "ssh" to show up.  Though it is unlikely bigbrother is there I'd confirm with:

netstat -an|grep 1984
Nothing.. And as I mentioned, ps aux shows only the one line, not the four or five listed in the documentation:

# ps aux | grep hobbit
hobbit    6032   0.0  0.0    27412    256  ??  Ss   12:02PM   0:00.16 /Users/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/Users/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg --env=/Users/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --log=/var/log/hobbit/hobbitla

And hmm.. Here's my hobbitlaunch.log latest entry:

Did some googling.. (For the archive).

On os/x, editied /etc/rc:

sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=4194304 kern.sysv.shmmin=1 kern.sysv.shmmni=32 kern.sysv.shmseg=12 kern.sysv.shmall=1024

I tried manually running that line, no go. Editied from shmseg=8 to 12, and rebooted. Works now!
