		Thanks for the help.  I edited
/etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg so the line reads:
		
		FILE /etc/passwd GREEN noexist
		
		still no joy.  
		
		Is there anyone on the list that has an example of a
FILE line in their hobbit-clients.cfg file?

			Try removing the TRACK keyword, and then change
NOEXIST to lower case.  I think Henrik has reported that there are a few
bugs in this code, 
			and it is not always clear when case matters and
when it doesn't, or when the order of the arguments matters.

				When all else fails, nuke it and start
over.  I did an apt-get remove hobbit, and then a dpkg -- purge.  Then I
removed any files I could find.  Then I downloaded the Ubuntu deb file
and installed it.  It put the configuration files in /etc/hobbit and it
started fine 
				
				I edited /etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg
and added the following line:
				
				PROC ntpd 1 99 green "TEXT=NTPD is up"
				
				
				Restarted hobbit, and in a few minutes,
it started reporting as expected.
				
				Then I added:
				
				PORT "LOCAL=%(:8888)" TEXT="Gnump is up"
				
				To the same file,
(/etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg) and restared hobbit.
				
				A few minutes later, the ports section
started reporting, as expected. 
				
				(Though I realize that its a bit off,
which I need to fix)
				
				
				Then I added:
				
				FILE /etc/passwd GREEN NOEXIST track
				
				Reading the documentation inside
hobbit-clients.cfg I edited /etc/hobbit/client- local.cfg and added the
following line:
				file:/etc/passwd
				
				restarted hobbit, waited 5 minutes.  No
luck.
				
				
				I'm pretty convinced that either:
				
				1. the format of the line  in
/etc/hobbit/client-local.cfg or /etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg is
incorrect, or
				2. There's something else I need to
edit.
