Hobbit client sending data but server seems to not get data.
list Kenneth Langford
All, I am switching my clients over from using the big brother client to using the hobbit client. I am having problems with 2 of my clients that are running Red Hat 9. They seem to be sending data but the server is not collecting the data. Other client systems are working. Any ideas of where I need to look????? Below is from the hobbitclient.log were I turned on debugging for an external program that is working on my other clients. 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Transport setup is: 2006-04-20 14:42:51 bbdportnumber = 1984 2006-04-20 14:42:51 bbdispproxyhost = NONE 2006-04-20 14:42:51 bbdispproxyport = 0 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Recipient listed as 'xxx.xxx.14.84' 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Standard BB protocol on port 1984 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Will connect to address xxx.xxx.14.84 port 1984 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Connect status is 0 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Sent 407 bytes 2006-04-20 14:42:51 Closing connection

This is usually caused by the client sending a different name than what the server is expecting. The Hobbit client uses the client name as reported by uname. You can use the CLIENT directive in the bb-hosts file to patch things up. Thanks, Larry Barber

Most common cause for this is that the clients are reporting data with a hostname which is different than what you have in the bb-hosts file. Typically, one side has the fully-qualified hostname, and the other only has the raw hostname (without domain). The client uses the "uname -n" command to determine what name it uses to report data. Check if this matches the name you have in bb-hosts. If it doesn't, you can either start the client with the "--hostname=my.host.name" option, or you can put a CLIENT:clienthostname tag on the host definition in the bb-hosts file. Henrik
