Hi.

I installed the new version of bbwin on my workstation over a previous 0.10 installation using 2 hobbit 4.3 servers. I received this error:



I can't see any errors on the hobbit server though...

On the server side, things behave as they did before, that is, client-side details are only sent to the first server.

Any thoughts on why I receive this error?

Hello,



I publish today BBWin 0.11. This is the new stuffs I put in it

(focused on centralized mode) :



BBWin 0.11 Preview version -  February 11th 2008

-------------------



* svcs centralized mode with autorestart option

* new agent to be used with centralized mode : filesystem.dll

  - file client-local.cfg implemented : support md5 and sha1 checksum algorithms

  - dir client-local.cfg implemented

  - logfile client-local.cfg implemented

  - linecount client-local.cfg implemented

  - back quotes for FILENAME and DIRECTORY implemented.

* eventlog client-local.cfg implemented : msgs.dll

* fix initialisation error on bbwinupdate agent

* prevent loading bbwin.cfg agent configurations when centralized mode enabled

* fix memory leak on bbwinupdate agent

* fix memory leak on service BBWin.exe when centralized mode enabled

* Use ip address instead of mac address for the graph title for

network interfaces (ifstat)

* multiple bbdisplay supported when centralized mode enabled

* Who agent now use qwinsta executable output instead of native functions

* Centralized Mode implemented directly in future hobbit 4.3 and with

a patch for hobbit 4.2



Here the link for the download :

As you can see, almost all options from client-local.cfg are now

implemented for the Windows client. Syntax for client-local.cfg and

for hobbit-clients.cfg are the same than Unix side so it will be very

easy to use. Client autoupdate is the latest feature to implement to

be at the same level than Unix hobbit client.



Centralized mode server part is now included in current hobbit

snapshot (future 4.3). For hobbit 4.2,  there is a new patch available

on the bbwin webpage :

http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/



Options from client-local.cfg only work with centralized mode. To

enable these new features for centralized mode, you will have to turn

on central mode and load the new agent filesystem.dll in your

BBWin.cfg which is not loaded by default at this time. For the moment,

local mode is still the default mode for BBWin. When hobbit 4.3 will

be released, BBWin default mode will become central and filesystem.dll

loaded.



It would help a lot if people who have testing hobbit servers could

try to use BBWin new features to find out if there are any bugs in it

:-) People who are testing BBWin centralized mode with 0.10 should

upgrade to 0.11 and get the new patch for hobbit 4.2 or the current

snapshot of hobbit.



As usual, let me know if you get troubles with this new version.



Regards,
