That was the missing part. Now it's clear and it's working. Thanks

I am trying to get the automatic client update to work. So far with no luck.
In the client data i see that there is no version number. In the hobbitclient.sh I see that he does a clientupdate --level. I get an empty line.
Looking in the clientupdate.c file I see he a CLIENTVERSIONFILE "etc/clientversion.cfg". I am not having that file and i don't see it in the distribution.
Any ideas how it should work?
Documentation about this subject is still very small, for the rest it's a great product!
Try "man clientupdate". I can see I didn't get that linked into the
HTML versions of the man-page, but you will find it at
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/clientupdate.1.html
There's a typo in the "Configure which hosts receive the new client"
section, there the filename and the ID do not match. It should read:
Configure which hosts receive the new client
In the client-local.cfg(5) file, you must now setup a
clientversion:ID line where the ID matches the filename you used for
the tar-file. So if you have packaged the new client into the file
linux.v2.tar, then the corresponding entry in client-local.cfg would
be clientversion:linux.v2.
The webpage linked above has the correct text.
