Hi, Within the release notes of 4.0.3 it says:
Beginning with this release, Hobbit can no longer be used as an add-on to Big Brother. Hobbit retains compatibility with BB clients and extension scripts, but you can no longer run eg. the Hobbit network test tool and have it report to a Big Brother server.
and
- All remnants of Big Brother compatibility have been removed. If you want to stick with the old Big Brother tool, use bbgen. This allowed for some much needed cleaning up of the bbgen code that loaded the status data, especially for the handling of purple status logs. Also, the sending of messages has dropped all support for the Big Brother method of sending "page" messages when a status-message is sent with an alert-color, so the BBPAGE and BBPAGERS settings are no longer used.
Does this means that the BBRELAY-option from a BB-server to a Hobbit-server on another host does not work anymore? Thanks, Peter
