David,

What is the output when you do the following:

~hobbit/client/bin/clientupdate --update= sunos8.v1

It should be working in the current release (the original RC from
July 12).

We read the man page and configured it, hoping it would work.
Obviously, it would save us a lot of time.  Here is what we get on
the client:

tail -f hobbitclient.log
2006-07-19 13:30:59 connect to bbd failed - Connection refused
2006-07-19 13:30:59 Whoops ! bb failed to send message -

Connection

failed
Cannot fetch new client tarfile

That is odd. Why can't it connect to the Hobbit server? It uses the
same
method of connecting for the client update as it does when sending
in
the client data.

Any signs in the server logs of hobbitd crashing? If yes, do apply
the
current "allinone.patch" to the server and retry this.

No signs of the server crashing.  The server is fine and while
clientupdate is not working the client is fine otherwise all
statuses
up to date.

I am currently using the latest snapshot for client and server.

What does your client-local.cfg file have for this client, and what
files do you have in the ~hobbit/download/ directory?

It looks something like this:

client-local.cfg:

[clienthost]
clientversion:sunos8.v1
file:/opt/app/apache/logs/access.log
log:/opt/app/apache/logs/error.log:10240
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
ignore srsxfer

[hobbit at hobbit download]$ ls
sunos8.v1.tar
[hobbit at hobbit download]$ pwd
/home/hobbit/server/download

Any chance we can get some feedback on this?  Congrats Adam, you are
getting further than we have.  Regardless, the tmp files it creates
without the 'w'rite attribute are a nuisance:
