I would also check the ghost client report to make sure that the SLES client is sending the correct hostname to the Hobbit server. I have found on some linux clients, it send the hostname and some send the FQDN. I usually just manually modify the client config to send the hostname I want and not rely on the automatic (which I think is uname -n by default ... don't quote me on that though ... not near my Hobbit box right now).

A couple of things to check on the client: [1] Make sure that the hostname of the hobbit server is resolvable from the client side. Or better yet, use the IP address of the hobbit server on the config file ==> BBDISPLAY=[IP_or_HOSTNAME_of_hobbit_server]. [2] Check to see if indeed the master is getting files. Usually there are files in the data directory generated for your client.
Side note: To configure the hobbit client, simply use "./configure.client" and supply the IP of the hobbit server. It should work out of the box.
Hope this helps.

Okay,
I have a few Novell SuSE SLES 10 servers. I compiled the 4.2 client on one of them and tried to get it to talk to the Master running on Solaris 9.
The page shows the Master tests, ping, ssh (and they work! - got paged tonight when the interface on one went AWOL)
On the client side. In client/tmp = the files are created and ready to send The client has a couple probes, and they have good output too.
I can telnet to the master from the clients on port 1984 successfully. The client refuses to publish out to the Master.
My bb-hosts has the proper entries for IP and names (tested that empirically ) and I have a number of graphs spec'd after trends:*
My sun connections all work fine (Solaris 9 mainly, no 10)
I am wondering if something needs to be changed in the compile to make the client work on SLES 10.
I am NOT a programmer, so need some help here...
