I have some problems with hobbitd_client on server (sparc/solaris9).

1. hobbit client  wouldn't  launch from hobbit server's hobbitlaunch- 
I got "fatal signal caught, treminating with code 134".

I tried to start it from init.d insted of - from client's 
hobbitlaunch  and it works.
Somehow I doubt that it works. hobbitd_client is fed via a mechanism
involving semaphores and shared memory, so it should really run from
hobbitlaunch to make sure you have various permissions set right.

Which version is this ? 4.1.2p1, or one of the snapshots ?
Have you looked at the logfiles, or tried running the hobbitd_client
core-dump through gdb as described in the "Known Problems" doc ?

On the display, hobbitd_client stays blinking red. How can I get rid 
of that?

2. bbd is constantly PURPLE
In bb-services, it is defined as:
[bbd]
   send "dummy"
   port 1984
so in fact it tests hobbitd-but why it is purple?
Hobbitd is OK.
Because the bbd network test is not being executed for this host. Check
your bb-hosts file, it must have a "bbd" tag defined for your hobbit
server.
