Subject: [hobbit] msgs on kern.log don't go away

Hi,

When a host is restarted, I get messages on kern.log showing infos about 
the disc arrays. Ok, nothing wrong with that. The thing is that the 
messages don't go away. Right now the msgs column is red and the 
information is from May 2. So it's red since then.

What I could understand is that hobbit uses logfetch with a 
configuration file to locate where in the log files it should look. I 
tried to remove the file used by logfetch on the client and restarted 
the client a few times. Hobbit recreated the file, but no success.

It's running on a RHEL 4. Hobbit client installed from source.

I have had this problem when one of the temp files on the client in
client/tmp was created by root when I tried starting the client with root.
The tmp file can not be removed by the hobbit user, so the status on the
messages file never changes and the messages continue to stay red.  Once I
deleted this tmp file and allowed the hobbit user to create the temp files
it needs under its ID, the problem went away.

Yeah! Thank you...

I think I ran hobbit with root privileges at the first time. Maybe it 
changed the file permissions.
Working fine now.

Thanks.
