I have several different linux clients (suse redhat 3&4 ES)
They are not getting the file,port,msgs or proc data to monitor (all
data is white and says: No files checked etc)

What can I do?

I'm not positive on this, but I believe the clients relay all kinds of
information to the server and then it is up to the server to process the
files and report to bbdisplay.

I'm not sure where to configure this, though.

Hi Holly. You may also need to configure the Hobbit server's
hobbit-clients.cfg file. For example,

HOST=yourhost.domain.tld
    FILE    /etc/passwd owner=root mode=644
