Hobbitping not working
by James.Gearing＠analog.com 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I just installed hobbit server 4.2-beta. This is my first hobbit setup. Hobbitping does not seem to be working. All "conn" are red, saying nodes are not OK, not responding to ping. The bbtest reports... Error output: Execution of '/export/home/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping -Ae' failed - program not suid root? Hobbitping is owned by root:hobbit Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks, James

Probs with BBWin 0.7
by Roger.Alterskjaer＠vm.ntnu.no 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

Hi! I've sent an email to the BBWin list but am wondering if troubleshooting this client is done on this list instead. (I've read Jason Chambers quick plea for help from a few hours ago.) Just want to make sure I'm addressing the right list for the right job ;-) P.S. Hobbit ROCKS! This weekend I did an install of the latest BB, was about to install BBGen then discover the Hobbit project. An immediate switchover to Hobbit later and I'm a happy camper! -Roger Alterskjær

How proud I am :D This fixes the problem, thanks Henrik...

Congratulations! You found the first bug in the beta :-) It wasn't tracking filesizes for log-files. This should solve it. Regards, Henrik

[hobbit] Viewing bb2.rss with Firefox livebook mark
by johng＠idttechnology.com 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I found why this is failing. It is missing "http://hobbitserver/". It works if I change the <link> lines from this: <link>/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=servername&SERVICE=msgs</link> to this: <link>http://hobbitservername/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=servername&SERVIC…</link> I created a patch. I hope I did this right. Anyway it seems to work for me. John John Glowacki wrote: > Using Firefox 1.0.7 to view bb2.rss seems to have stopped working when I > upgraded to 4.2.

ldapyellowfail tag
by allan＠zandahar.net 07 Jun '06

Hey guys, Just been playing around with some LDAP tests recently to diagnose some issues on a customers LDAP we're hosting and occasionally it decides it doesn't want to respond to LDAP..or cant find the uid I'm searching for. I noticed theres a ldapyellowfail tag which I tried putting in so I got email but not paged about it but it doesn't seem to work for me I still get red messages. I'd prefer to be able to add this instead of doing a separate alert rule so any suggestions would be good.I know the ldaplogin works fine as I'm using this on another host that doesnt allow anonymous binds I've got this in my hosts file 192.168.1.202 dr202.cs.int # NK:conn ldap://dr202.cs.int:389/o=cls?uid=nadmin1 ldapyellowfail Cheers Allan

Running hobbit clients from a shared directory
by jonescr＠cisco.com 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Let's say I have 300 servers, and the hobbit home directory is common among them all (NFS or SAN mount). Will this work? It appears that it might (as most of the dynamic files have the hostname as part of their filename), as long as server-side configuration was used. -Charles

dnsinfo?

Hey Henrik, I've noticed that your running something called dnsinfo, is that a script or something in the latest snapshot?

That was the missing part. Now it's clear and it's working.

Try "man clientupdate". I can see I didn't get that linked into the HTML versions of the man-page, but you will find it at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/clientupdate.1.html There's a typo in the "Configure which hosts receive the new client" section, there the filename and the ID do not match. It should read: Configure which hosts receive the new client In the client-local.cfg(5) file, you must now setup a clientversion:ID line where the ID matches the filename you used for the tar-file. So if you have packaged the new client into the file linux.v2.tar, then the corresponding entry in client-local.cfg would be clientversion:linux.v2. The webpage linked above has the correct text.
