I think that is what I found as well, so I bagged the class stuff altogether and went with only host names. And I refreshed my memory on how to cut and paste in my text editor...

Have you tried placing the lines at the very top of the file or at the very bottom?

I had a problem with the client-local.cfg file where I had put the hostname of the same class after the class name which was empty. Nothing worked. Once there is a hit, hostname or class, it stops processing. So it seems that you cannot expect hostname commands and class name commands to both execute; which ever it finds first it executes those commands and then stops. At least that is what I have found.

Sorry if this is obvious but have you tried this using just the HOST=hostname to make sure it is working?

Thanks, I did that and all works well with HOST=hostname. The one thing I couldn't get working is CLASS=classname. Using the CLASS=classname entry makes more sense for file monitoring as the same

file in different platforms vary in permissions and location. If I can't make it work with CLASS I'll stick with what works by maintaining multiple HOST entries.

The configs once again are

hobbit-clients.cfg:

CLASS=hpux11iv1 FILE /etc/sudoers mtime>600

client-local.cfg:

[hpux11iv1] file:/etc/sudoers

bb-hosts

0.0.0.0 hpux_host # CLASS:hpux11iv1
