Hi All

Should newbies write in this mailsgroup?

Could someone explain me or to give me ideas how to receive infos from client?
The bb-host and hobbit-clients.cfg are configured. The ping between server and client are running and the both system can connected each others without problem!

The problem is that the server receive a grey point in the field conn (: conn ok : System failure of the ping test!)?
The green smiley infos and trends are the unique infos....?

Is there a better documentation than the manpages? I need to have a better overview...!

Best regards,
Jérôme M. Meyer

Has anyone got a client to run from a ipcop install?

Read the documentation to begin with, otherwise people will be short with
you and you will go no where on this mailing list.

The client simply sends data and connects to port 1984 (default) on the
server.  If it is displayed is dependent on the server's bb-host config.

The "System failure of the ping test" sounds to me like the hobbit user
can't execute fping.  See if your /sbin/fping can be executed by hobbit.
