Is there a problem with just building (compiling) the Hobbit client on
these older systems ? That would be the simplest solution.

If you download the source-version of Hobbit (the hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz
file from Sourceforge), copy it over to one of these boxes, and unpack
it with "tar zxf hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz". cd into the hobbit-4.2.0
directory and run "./configure --client", followed by "make" and
"make install". That should give you a client, built for this type of
system.

When you're only building the client, you do not need any of the special
libraries that the Hobbit server needs. It's designed to work on an
almost "bare" system.

Henrik

Ouch...  I remember them...  :(

Do the appliances support SNMP monitoring?  If they do you could try
using Devmon instead of the client.....  (http://devmon.sourceforge.net/

I'd be interested in hearing about this too :-)

I've only taken a short look at devmon - can it be configured to use a
non
standard SNMP port?  The SecurePlatform SNMP runs on port 260 rather
than
the standard 161/162.

Henrik,

Thanx so much for getting back to me so quickly. The problem is that I am running a very, very secure version of Linux called Secure Platform from Checkpoint.
They made their own gcc libraries and compiler and Make is not installed. So I downloaded "Make" and tried compiling it and when i try and run ./configure it breaks because the C-compiler is not allowed to create executables. I cant upgrade the libraries because it will break the software.

OK, the best bet then is probably to build the binaries on another
system, and link them statically. I.e. find a linux box where you can
build the Hobbit client. Run the normal "./configure --client", then
edit the generated Makefile and near the bottom right after where it
says
   # Add local CFLAGS etc. settings here
add this line:
   CFLAGS=-static

Then run "make" as usual and "make install", then you should be able to
just copy the client directory to the secured servers.

It required some hand editing of the source codes files to link to  the currect headers in the include directories.
But it worked, and its working now :-)

Michael,

are you running hobbit on IPSO? If so, which major version did you get it working on? 3.8, 3.9 of 4.?

I was thinking about asking Nokia to build a package, so it is installable through voyager.

I haven't received anything from Amazon in the past week or two, I
think. Sometimes they are a bit slow at shipping things. What did you
order ?

Hi again.  I have received no reply to my private messages to you (some
sort of filter?), so apologies to the list.  If you have not received your
Amazon gift, please contact me directly, Amazon claims they will send a
replacement but they need to verify your address.

See the bbgen(1) man-page:

       --max-eventcount=N
                Limit the eventlog on the BB2 page to only N
		events. Default: 100.

	--max-eventtime=N
		Limit the eventlog on the BB2
		page to events that happened
		within the past N minutes.
		Default: 240.
