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.

/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
Do this instead:

rsync -avt  /home/hobbit/data/ /var/lib/hobbit/data
#----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
Yes, copy as above.
Still run under user hobbit?
Yes. But, the init script should take care of everything.
If so, what directory structure is needed? 
Anything else I might be missing?
Paths in (e.g.) hobbitserver.cfg ?
