I would like to set up a bbproxy. To do this I've copied the compiled
hobbit running on Fedora to another machine running fedora too. I've
changed hobbitlaunch.cfg only with

[hobbitd]
       HEARTBEAT
       ENVFILE /home/bbmon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
       CMD hobbitd --listen=127.0.0.1 --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid
--restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk
--checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log
--admin-senders= 127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP
If you're running bbproxy, you should not be running the hobbitd task.
The [hobbitd] task runs ONLY on the real Hobbit server - not on proxy
servers, network testers, clients or any other box.
Hmm, if that's the case, why does hobbitlaunch.cfg have:

[bbnet]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m


Should the "NEEDS hobbitd" be removed?

In my case, I want to use one "monitoring" server in a network as proxy and 
network tester, and I wouldn't mind having a display on it too (eg, in the DR 
site).

Regards,
Buchan
