This behavior is usually caused by the host names not agreeing between
the hobbit client and server. The hobbit client uses the return from
'uname -n' for the name it reports to the server. If this doesn't match
whats in bb-hosts, hobbitd will just discard the message.

I have a strange problem with some clients, I would appreciate any
suggestions if anyone has seen it or can give any ideas about the
problem. I have a number of servers running RedHat AS 2.1, RedHat AS
3, and Fedora with my hobbit server on Fedora Core 4. I built the
client on one AS 2.1 server, then created a tarball and copied all
files over to all other AS 2.1 servers. More than half work with no
problem, reporting memory, CPU, disk etc, but some don't report
anything. I stopped the client and removed all files, then rebuilt the
client using ./configure --client; make; make install which worked
with no errors. I see no errors in my hobbit server logs, and I can
telnet from the clients to the server on port 1984 with no problem.
The hobbit client seems to be running properly, and I don't see
anything unusual in the logs.
