Subject: [hobbit] RE: Problem with remotely issuing a bb hobbit "drop
host test" command
I am trying to issue the following command from a client server
/bin/bb hobbitserver "drop hostname testname"
But on the hobbit server I am getting the following error:
2009-05-01 09:25:00 Refused message from a.b.c.d: drop hostname
testname
Any help with this would be great!
It sounds like you're looking for the '--admin-senders' option for
hobbit as defined in your hobbitlaunch.cfg file. The default restricts
admin commands to localhost only. If you want to send admin commands
from a remote host to the hobbit server, you'll need to append the
remote ip to --admin-senders
man hobbitd and look for --admin-senders for details.
