Modify the hobbit server's /etc/rc.local:
su -c "ssh hobbit at hobbitclient -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984" hobbit
Configure /etc/default/hobbit-client on the hobbit client in the DMZ to connect to localhost:
HOBBITSERVERS="127.0.0.1"
Add the client to /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts on the hobbit server:
10.2.0.5 target_machine

Just to clarify:
I’ve set up ssh keys authentication between the hobbit server and a client in our DMZ, for the hobbit user.
I can ssh from server to client without entering a password, so it works.
If I run ssh hobbit at x.x.x.x -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 from the commanline on the server, communications between server and client works.
If I add ssh hobbit at 10.2.0.5 -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984 either to initttab or /etc/rc.local, then the client stops reporting (after a server reboot).
Anyone know what I should do?
Thanks.

Daniel,
Do you just simply add that command to inittab?
Thanks.

HI Daniel
Thanks for your steps. Yes my target machine is UNIX box.
from the hobbit server , run from inittab (I don’t understand run from innittab ..I can run the below command from command line shell promt right)
ssh user at taregt_machine -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984
on the target machine, set the hobbit client to connect to localhost --I have to edit hobbitclient.cfg and change BBDISP value to 127.0.0.1 right..want to make sure…
Also hobbit server has to communicate with target machines(clients) on port 1984 right.otherwise this step does not work right.
Thanks

If the target machine is unix/linux. The simplest way is to use ssh keys & tunneling.
from the hobbit server , run from inittab
ssh user at taregt_machine -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:127.0.0.1:1984
on the target machine, set the hobbit client to connect to localhost.

Hi,
We have some servers in edmz.port 1984 is blocked by firewall.so client cannot able to communicate with hobbit server on port 1984.when I search around I read about msgcache,hobbitfetch utilities but I am not familiar with that. can anyone please give me the configuration steps that I need to make on both server side and edmz client site.
Thanks in advance
Thanks
