BB and Hobbit on same server
list Bob Gordon
Hello - Is there a way that I can run Hobbit and BB on the same server with them both listening to traffic on port 1984? I am running into an internal political issue at the office and as of now this is the only way that I am able to resolve the issue... Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

Don't you just love politics ... You cannot do that directly, since only one program can listen on a specific port-number. But there are ways of doing it. One solution is to setup your BB to handle the incoming data on port 1984, and then define the BBRELAY option in your bb-hosts file to make BB copy all incoming messages to Hobbit. You can add "BBRELAY:127.0.0.2" and then have Hobbit listen on the 127.0.0.2 IP by adding "--listen=127.0.0.2:1984" to the hobbitd command in hobbitlaunch.cfg. (Depending on your OS, you may need to setup 127.0.0.2 as a valid address. Linux appears to work without any special handling, but I believe Solaris needs to have the IP plumb'ed before it will work). The other solution involves using the bbproxy utility from bbgen or Hobbit to receive the incoming messages, and then have bbproxy forward them to both BB and Hobbit, either listening on another IP-address or port-number.

Would I need to disable the conn, ssh and other tests or can each run thier own without interfering with each other? -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

You would have to disable one of the network testers - either BB's bb-network.sh script, or Hobbit's [bbnet] task. And make sure your hobbitserver.cfg config has BBDISP set to "127.0.0.2" (the IP you use for the hobbitd daemon), since you probably do not want to send the info- and larrd-column status messages that Hobbit generates off to your BB server.
