Ok so I'm attempting to set up hobbitfetch for the first time with a few new clients. I've followed all the steps that should have gotten it working:
- Enabled the msgcache on the client and verified connectivity on port 1984 from the server to the client.
- Set the BBDISP to 127.0.0.1 on the client.
- Added pulldata to the bb-hosts entry on the server and made sure the IP being used is a real and valid one.
- Enabled the hobbitfetch process on the server.
Everything appears to be running on both ends, but no data was coming back. So I enabled debug mode for hobbitfetch and msgcache on each end.
hobbitfetch.log:
2008-05-07 21:56:02 Queuing request 2 to 10.10.10.10:1984 for host.foo.bar: 'pullclient 1

Looks ok I guess, not sure what exact arguments pullclient is normally supposed to feed to the client though.
And the msgcache.log:
2008-05-07 21:52:44 New connection 2008-05-07 21:52:44 -> oksender 2008-05-07 21:52:44 <- oksender(1-a) 2008-05-07 21:52:44 Got pullclient request: pullclient 1
2008-05-07 21:52:44 Saved client response:
However in the hobbitclient.log I get the default version output as if the data being sent to the bb command isn't formatted right: Hobbit version 4.2.0 Usage: /cust/bb/client/bin/bb [--debug] [--proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin
If I try running the command: ./bb 127.0.0.1 "pullclient" on the client, or the same with the client's IP from the server, I get nothing. Now I found something when searching the mailing list: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/07/msg00513.html
So I applied this patch to my client just to see if that would help, but no dice. Are there any other things I can try, debug commands, etc?
