hi, there,
I downloaded the latest snapshot ( http://www.hswn.dk/beta/hobbit-snapshot.tar.gz ). It buit just fine as RPM on a up-2-date CentOS 4.4 test server, using the included hobbit.spec. Once I updated the server and a CentOS 4 (also up-2-date CentOS 4.4) client, however, I got a lot of 'purple' for the client and for the Hobbit server itself. ~hobbit/client/logs/hobbitclient.log on both server and the client claims the following: 2006-12-20 11:57:43 connect to bbd failed - No such file or directory 2006-12-20 11:57:43 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed
tcpdumping on the server and client showed no attempts to send any packets to 1984 port. manual connecting to server's 1984/tcp port works just fine from the client. Plus the client piece on the Hobbit server experienced the same problem, I don't think this is a networking issue.
