Hi All,

I'm new to hobbit (after the lad that was running it on our network upped
and went) and am having a couple of problems.

I have successfully loaded a couple of windoze clients, although I can't get
a 'conn' icon to appear (although the existing machines all return conn
icons).

I've also added a client to a linux machine, but I can't get that to return
a thing! (the host name is correct)

I'm new to the linux/unix environment, but I'm learning a lot as the days
pass! 

Thanks for  any help!

Have you updated the bb-hosts (under $BBHOME/etc) file to include the
new win machines? It may be possible that your predecessor set hobbit to
allow all data sent to it, with the linux client tail all the logs (tail
$BBHOME/logs/*) and send them.  (sorry if the stuff in brackets are
obvious but would rather tell you things you know than not tell you
things you need to)

Check out the Ghost-report to make sure you got the hostname correct...

Also, after installing the hobbit-client on a machine and like to do a 
tcpdump on the hobbit server to make sure the hobbit client traffic is 
getting back to the machine. Could be an ACL or firewall blocking you...

good luck, michael

Ok, I've now got the Linux client to work (thick fingers had miss typed the
Ip ;-) )

Still not sure about the conn icon (still not showing for my new additions)

Another question: Can I use >= in the procs to show that I want at least x
number of services to run? Or can I only specify least and most?

Thanks for the help!

Just specify the least number and it look for at least that many without
checking the total count.
