I think I have it, but first some history: The Hobbit installation I am using was built and installed on a different Solaris Hobbit server. The installed files were then put into a Solaris package, copied to the new server and installed there. The new server has an IP address of 10.44.107.48 whilst the original Hobbit server has an IP address of 10.249.6.102.
Whilst poking through the source code for the Hobbit ghost report I noticed that it had a --debug option. Running with that shows that the Hobbit webserver is actually querying the old 10.249.6.102 IP address instead of either the new, or local ones.
I can't find the old IP address detailed anywhere in my Hobbit configuration files so it looks like the hobbit-ghosts.c program is being forced to use the IP address of the original Hobbit server, rather than 127.0.0.1 or 10.44.107.48.
I noticed in the cgi-bin/hobbit-ghosts.sh script that there is reference to $CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS but that isn't set anywhere I can find. Maybe it needs to be set in the Hobbit user's environment and maybe it could be set to the IP address of my Hobbit server? I tried to pull that information out of the hobbit-ghosts.c code but couldn't see if it was possible or not.
Does this sound logical?
