Thank you, Tim,
the problem is solved. Your way should work, I found another one. I added EXHOST to the default, too:
FILE /usr/bin/ps HOST=<new host> MTIME>600 MD5=76b66713137851c1407fd9ea20785bc0 red FILE /usr/bin/ps EXHOST=<new host> MTIME>600 MD5=facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a red
kind regards, Rolf
The following syntax is working for me. The file tested is on an NFS mounted fs, so it's the same file on both systems. I just added a test that I new would fail (size over 1K). Works as expected. I don't think this syntax would be any different for md5's.
... HOST=someserver GROUP=somegroup FILE /somepath/somefile SIZE<55M and SIZE>0 red
HOST=newserver GROUP=somegroup FILE /somefile/somepath SIZE<10K and SIZE>0 red ...
Regards,
Tim

Hi,
One thing I can remember about the client config is that the DEFAULT stanza must appear last. I'm using 4.2.0 and the syntax below is working for me. (you don't need the GROUP statement for this).
HOST=someserver GROUP=somegroup FILE /somepath/somefile SIZE<55M and SIZE>0 red
I can test with another line (HOST=newserver) and see the results. Will let you know later.

Hi to all,
as I got no answer yet I try again: As far as I understand the man-pages, the syntax of the snippet from hobbit-clients.cfg is correct. Could anyone approve that or tell me what is wrong?
That would be very helpful, thanks, Rolf
The question I posted as "FILES for different hosts" was:
>>>>> seeming rather simple but I cannot find the solution. I'm monitoring some files with md5 checksum for changes. All those files had the same md5 on all servers: FILE /usr/bin/ps MTIME>600 MD5=facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a red
Now a new server has a different installation so I added him in hobbit-clients.cfg above the first entry: FILE /usr/bin/ps MTIME>600 MD5=76b66713137851c1407fd9ea20785bc0 HOST=<new host> red FILE /usr/bin/ps MTIME>600 MD5=facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a red
But for the check the old entry is used:
File has MD5 hash 76b66713137851c1407fd9ea20785bc0 - should be facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a
Could you give me a hint? Thanks! Rolf Schrittenlocher
