I have my Hobbit server behind a firewall.  The Hobbit server appears to
be running fine. I'm getting cpu, disk, files, etc data from client
systems on the same network segment.  With systems outside the firewall,
I am only getting the conn, info, and trends - nothing else.

I'm using hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz source on RHEL4 WS boxes, both server and
clients.
    
Did you set enable hobbitfetch on the server?  By default it isn't
enabled.

In hobbitlaunch.cfg, you need something like:

[hobbitfetch]
        *ENABLED*
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/bin/hobbitfetch *--server=127.0.0.1* --no-daemon --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitfetch.pid
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitfetch.log

  
That was it, thanks!  I needed to enable hobbitfetch on the server, and
to also specify my server IP.  I did that and bounced the server, and
now I'm getting the external system data columns.
