Hi, is it possible to manually set the hostname that the Hobbit client
sends as in the way the bb windows client does? I ask this as I have
hobbit using FQDN's but I don't think my host are sending information as
such.

 
Thanks,

Hi,
	If you're using a current snapshot, you can run  ~client/runclient.sh with "--hostname=machine.name.com" option, or edit the runclient.sh itself and change the MACHINEDOTS variable to reflect your hostname.

	One way to see what hostname you're client is sending is take a look at the ~client/tmp/mst.txt 's firt line.
	Regards

I was running 4.1.1, upgrading to 4.1.2 and doing the suggested has
solved the problem and client data is now appearing thanks :).
