I just installed Hobbit using yum on a new system, unfortunately I
already had my /home/hobbit structure from the previous system (which
crashed).  Well, it appears that yum installed Hobbit quite differently
than I had originally installed.

--------------------- Previously ---------------------------
/home/hobbit/cgi-bin
            /cgi-secure
            /client
                   /bin
                   /etc
                   /ext
                   /logs
                   /tmp
            /data
                 /acks
                 /data
                 /disabled
                 /hist
                 /histlogs/(various monitored systems)
                 /hostdata
                 /logs
                 /rrd/(various monitored systems)
            /server
                   /bin
                   /download
                   /etc
                   /ext
                   /tmp
                   /web
                   /www
                       /gifs
                       /help
                       /html
                       /menu
                       /notes
                       /rep
                       /Servers/(various sub pages)
                       /snap
                       /wml
            /source
                   /snapshot
/var/log/hobbit
---------------------- Now -------------------------  
/etc/hobbit
/usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-bin
                   /cgi-secure
                   /server
                          /bin
                          /download
                          /ext
/var/lib/hobbit
               /acks
               /data
               /disabled
               /hist
               /histlogs
               /hostdata
               /logs
               /rrd
               /tmp
               /www
                   /gifs
                   /help
                   /html
                   /menu
                   /notes
                   /rep
                   /snap
                   /wml
/var/log/hobbit
It appears that I need to:

#----Copy data
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/hist/*        /var/lib/hobbit/data/hist
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/*    /var/lib/hobbit/data/histlogs
cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/rrd/*         /var/lib/hobbit/data/rrd
#----Copy configuration
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg  /etc/hobbit
cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd      /etc/hobbit
#--->Modify existing instead!
#--->cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg  /etc/hobbit

Still run under user hobbit?  If so, what directory structure is needed?
Anything else I might be missing?
