I installed hobbit 4.1.1, saw that it was working, and ignored it for a few hours... Then I saw purples for the client tests..
checking /var/log/hobbit/hobbitclient.log showed:
/usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 17: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt: Permission denied /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 18: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt: Permission denied /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 19: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt: No such file or directory
Sure enough, /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp was not writable by the hobbit user. But, shouldn't things like that be written to /var instead of /usr?
Of course, now that it can write things, it's complaining about something else (can't read the /proc directory, since I run Mandriva in paranoid mode....)
