Hi,

Hobbit is reporting the following error message from time to time:

Oversize status msg from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:ports
truncated (n=296523, limit=262144)

What is the preferred way to handle this? Can I simply add "| head -n
xyz" to the netstat command or will this falsify some statistics in
Hobbit?

Ciao,
Thomas

Change MAXMSG_STATUS in hobbitserver.cfg, see the man-page.
