Check your MRTG configuration.  It can not write to a file due to a permission problem.  I think I have mine writing to a directory that the hobbit user owns (eg: /home/hobbit/...).

I have a problem with clients turning purple after reboot.
Client processes run, tmp/msg.txt is updated on client.
Display shows GREEN on conn|info|trends, and PURPLE on the rest  - cpu|disk|memory|procs.

I set debug option on hobbit client in hobbitlaunch.cfg -
but I don't quite understand output in clientdata.log:

CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/clientdata.log --debug hobbitd_client

What test should I make to find out what is wrong?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
