need help in monitoring edmz client

Just to clarify:

 
I've set up ssh keys authentication between the hobbit server and a
client in our DMZ, for the hobbit user.

 
I can ssh from server to client without entering a password, so it
works.

 
If I run ssh hobbit at x.x.x.x -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 from
the commanline on the server, communications between server and client
works.

 
If I add ssh hobbit at 10.2.0.5 -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 either
to initttab or  /etc/rc.local, then the client stops reporting (after a
server reboot).

 
Anyone know what I should do?

 
Thanks.

Daniel,

 
Do you just simply add that command to inittab?

 
Thanks.

HI Daniel

 
   Thanks for your steps. Yes my target machine is UNIX box.

 
from the hobbit server , run from inittab   (I don't understand run from
innittab ..I can run the below command from command line shell promt
right)

ssh user at taregt_machine -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984  


on the target machine, set the hobbit client to connect to localhost
--I have to edit hobbitclient.cfg and change BBDISP value to 127.0.0.1
right..want to make sure...

 
Also hobbit server has to communicate with target machines(clients) on
port 1984 right.otherwise this step does not work right.

 
Thanks

If the target machine is unix/linux. The simplest way is to use ssh keys
& tunneling.

from the hobbit server , run from inittab   

ssh user at taregt_machine -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984

on the target machine, set the hobbit client to connect to localhost.

Hi, 

  
   We have some servers in edmz.port 1984 is blocked by firewall.so
client cannot able to communicate with hobbit server on port 1984.when I
search around I read about msgcache,hobbitfetch utilities but I am not
familiar with that. can anyone please give me the configuration steps
that I need to make on both server side and edmz client site. 

  
Thanks in advance
