Below is what I ended up doing. It's working like a champ. It probably
doesn't fit your environment exactly, but it may be of some help anyway.
My Hobbit server is Linux 2.6, the clients I'm pulling data from are
Solaris 9. All running OpenSSH. The client domains are picked up on
the Hobbit server via /etc/resolv.conf mechanism. Hobbit server has
socks client installed and configured for our environment. ssh public
keys were distributed from host to clients so ssh/scp will work without
passwords being required.
The file "hobbitclient-custom.sh" you see below is nothing more than the
standard hobbitclient.sh file with some stuff I didn't want stripped
out. I modified the LOGFETCHCFG line to point to the "scripts"
directory rather than the default "tmp" directory because I wanted to
keep all my customized stuff in that scripts directory.
I was so free to upload the 4 files to my twiki, I hope you don't mine. This
is a nice solution to a problem that more then 1 person will encounter:
