I tried doing what you suggested but I can't persuade the client to read the data from the server.
I have the following on the server in the client-local.cfg file: [nms4.lon.oss.colt.net] svc:/network/ssh:default|svc:/site/tftpd:default
And this is in the bb-hosts file: 10.44.85.209 nms4.lon.oss.colt.net # ssh
Yet after restarting both server and client I only get this in the ~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.nms4.lon.oss.colt.net.cfg: log:/var/adm/messages:10240 log:/var/log/syslog:10240
It takes a while for the client-local.cfg settings to percolate over to the client itself (a: hobbitd has to reload the file, b: the client has to contact the Hobbit server and pickup the setting, c: it won't take effect until the next run of the client) - up to 15 minutes.
And of course - it assumes you're running the clients with server-side configuration. Some still prefer to keep configuration settings on the clients.
