Msgs issue on solaris 10 and a dns issue on centos 4.4

First Issue:
I have a couple of solaris machines that range from 8-10 in versions.   They all have the hobbit client installed on them and I am retrieving  data back from all of them except for one.  On that one I get all of  the tests I am checking for except the messages.  And I've looked on  the server and there is a /var/adm/messages file and it has 644  permissions like all of the other Hobbit Clients I run but this one  doesn't report anything back.

Second Issue:
I am monitoring 2 dns servers running CentOS 4.4.  They are running  the Hobbit Client and were working fine until I added a couple of DNS  entries via webmin and had Webmin restart dns.  After dns restarted  and came back up hobbit has it marked as down and it hasn't come back  up in 4 days.  I have tried removing the hosts and making sure the  logs are all removed.  But nothing has worked.
