Per the hobbit-clients.cfg documentation I read the following:
CLASS=classname Rule match by the client class-name. You specify
the class-name for a host when starting the client through the
"--class=NAME" option to the runclient.sh script. If no class is
specified, the host by default goes into a class named by the
operating system.
My questions:
The default classname setting of the operating system, which value is it ?
It's the value of $BBOSTYPE which gets setup by the Hobbit client
environment. It's basically defined at compile-time. There's a list of
the OS names near the beginning of the lib/misc.c file in the Hobbit
source; I should probably document that somewhere.
Can regular expresion be used, CLASS=%Linux.* ?
Yes.
Can a host be defined to more than one class, i.e.
1.2.3.4 serverName # ssh CLASS:Linux CLASS:webServer
No.
If a host can have more than one class definition, what happens when you
get CLASS configuration parameter collision ?
That's why one host cannot belong to more than one class.

Henrik
