Holly,

Can you try Paul's suggestion and let us know how it turns out, please?

	Hi Holly. I'm wondering if [linux] matches your client ...
	
	Try this in client-local.cfg:
	
	[yourhost.domain.tld ]
	log:/var/log/messages:10240
	file:/etc/passwd:md5
	ignore MARK
	
	You may need to restart your hobbit client on
yourhost.domain.tld for
	the changes to take effect.

I have put it into both cfg files

There doesn't seem to be a problem in solaris

Hi Holly. You may also need to configure the Hobbit server's
hobbit-clients.cfg file. For example, 

HOST=yourhost.domain.tld
    FILE    /etc/passwd owner=root mode=644

I'm not positive on this, but I believe the clients relay
all kinds
of
information to the server and then it is up to the server to
process 
	
the files and report to bbdisplay.

I'm not sure where to configure this, though.

    I have several different linux clients (suse redhat 3&4

    They are not getting the file,port,msgs or proc data to

data is white and says: No files checked etc)

    What can I do?
