The client by default uses the "uname -s" output, which will be
"linux". If you launch the client with
    ~hobbit/client/runclient.sh --os=rhel3
then it will use the [rhel3] setting. The list --os names is restricted
though, so for a more generic solution you can define your own "classes"
and run the client with a "--class=MYCLASS" option; then it will use
the [MYCLASS] section.
Is there a way to make the "--class=MYCLASS" option permanent when
starting a client?  That is, do you have to specify --class everytime
you use "runclient.sh", such as stopping, starting, restarting, etc?
