Like here,

"Client S/W:" has empty value, how can I enable this  ?
I like to see the version for hobbit client display in this field.
Also can "Client S/W" rename to "hobbit client version ?
Looks like I ran into a bug in  version 4.2.0.
$BBHOME/etc/clientversion.cfg was not created by default.
It is not a bug, it just means you have not done a clientupdate.  You 
create the client versions, the client version names are arbitrary.  See 
the man page for clientupdate for more detail.
Thanks for the followup, IMHO, it should be a bug (or a missing feature).
click on info column and see "Client S/W" has no vaule will definitely not 
acceptable
the management.

I now have all my client packages genterate
a etc/clientversion.cfg with a version number in it after client 
installation.

Looking forward to try out the auto client update.

tj
after some code tracing on clientupdate.c I found etc/clientversion.cfg 
is needed.

root at test> ./clientupdate  --level
4.2.0.1
root at test>
root at test> cat  ../etc/clientversion.cfg
4.2.0.1
root at test>

Thanks
