Okay, did a file search for hobbit-clients.cfg and found:
/etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg
Then looked in that file and found:
mohnkern at Casa-Scott:/etc/hobbit$ grep FILE hobbit-clients.cfg
# FILE : Changes the "files" status according to meta-data for files.
# FILE filename [color] [things to check] [TRACK]
FILE "/etc/passwd" GREEN NOEXIST TRACK
There's also a hobbit-clients.cfg in /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc The
entry is there as well.
However, at the hobbit screen, the file entry is still coming up grey, and
"no files being checked"

Thanks, this was the critical piece of information I was missing. There

Back to editing what I hope is the correct config file. I should be
able
to put
FILE "/etc/passwd" GREEN NOEXIST TRACK
in ~/usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg
and then start the hobbit client with /usr/lib/hobbit/runclient.sh start
and get reporting, yes?
No, this has to go in the hobbit-clients.cfg file on the _server_. The
server receives the data from the client (including the log file
information)
and needs to know what to do with it.
Before the client sends file information to the server, you need to
configure
client-local.cfg on the _server_.
So all configuration is done on the server.
If the client and the server is the same machine, it can be tricky to find
the
right config file. If you install the hobbit server from source, all
files
are placed in the same sub directory so it is clear to know what's the
server
and what's the client.
