Hi,

i have just commited ports-1.0.tar.gz to deadcat which is a
bb client test for the bb client.
My original question concerns a port (written in C) for the native
hobbit server that is more powerful. Is there interest
to integrate it into the hobbit sources (client_config.c,
hobbitd_client.c, etc).
(Dont want to flood anyone with diffs...)

Regards, Mirko
I would suggest contributing it to Deadcat's archive
(http://www.deadcat.net/).  Also, I personally would love this test.  If
you want to email it to me personally, please feel free to.

Hi,

I have written a netstat tcp test, which i find particularly useful.
"netstat" tcp connections sent by the hobbit client will be scanned
on the hobbit server for sourceport, targetport and connection state.
This helps you verify that a process is listening on port 80, that
at least 5 connections are established to your database server, that
the telnet port is really closed or that there are no more than 100
connections in TIME_WAIT state. The handling/display is quite similar
to the "PROC" option in hobbit-clients.cfg.

If there is interest, I would like to contribute it, because i think
that hobbit is a great tool (I'm currently migrating from bb). How is
the procedure?
