White-clear dots where they shouldn't be

Lately, whenever I install a new Linux client (hobbit 4.20 with allinone patch - server the same), I get white dots (which eventually go to clear dots) for "files", "msgs", "ports" and "procs". Usually I have procs defined in hobbit-clients.cfg and I change permissions on /var/log/messages. Hobbitd-client on server is running with "--no-clear-files --no-clear-ports --no-clear-msgs". I also don't get the "client data" link. This didn't use to happen. So, I'm confused. Anyone else get this?

I get the same thing ... never found a fix other than to hide the columns
through bb-hosts file.

If you're not seeing the "client data" link, then that client is setup for local configuration. That also correlates with the clear files/ports/msgs
statuses appearing despite your use of the options on the server.

So check how the client is configured, and change it back to server-side
configuration. You'll have to "drop" the clear statuses by hand, though.
