Had same issue with SuSE SLES10 = thanks to some of the folks here learned about option in the runclient.sh script - the Linux clients only send short name and needed FQN on server side. Solution is to completely kill off client processes completely, then restart with the --hostname="whatevr.host is" (check the script for proper syntax - don't have it handy here at home)
My thanks to those who helped me out with suggestions -- been running solid for 2 weeks now. Now we will see if it behaves on RHEL 5!!!! (just got assigned 2 VMs using RHEL5 = RSA products ONLY support Redhat Linux officially - they refuse any other Linux build support - at least they still support Solaris)

Check the ghost report, the hostname might be wrong ;-)

I have setup a hobbit server (on Ubuntu) and for test purpose installed hobbit client on a Ubuntu machine. I updated the bb-hosts file on the server with the client IP address and hostname. But the only status I get for this client is conn, info, and trends. Which files do I need to update or edit to get rest of the status displayed on the Hobbit main page?
Thanks!
