I am using Hobbit 4.0.1 and I defined HOBBITLOGO as

in my hobbitserver.cfg file

It shows up fine in every page, eg. bb.html, except for maint.pl
file

It's the way maint.pl parses the hobbitserver.cfg file that is causing
problems.

The ugly but functional fix is to define HOBBITLOGO without any
escapes or quotes. Like this:

HOBBITLOGO="<IMG SRC=/hobbit/gifs/qwest_logo.gif width=185 height=77>"

which results in HTML that is not completely valid, but it works.


The real solution is to pack maint.pl inside a wrapper that sets up
the environment for it so that it does not need to process
hobbitserver.cfg by itself (and get it wrong). That's for the next
version.
