Henrik,
Either I've done something silly, or something you changed after the 2007-07-25 snapshot may have broken "bin/bb". I'm getting this in my hobbitclient.log:
Hobbit version 4.3.0-0.20070725 Usage: /home/hobbit/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
and purple dots for my Hobbit server's cpu, disk, memory, etc.
To make sure it wasn't anything old left behind from the previous install, I moved the server & client directories to another place and reran the 'make install', then copied back server/etc/bb-hosts. I'm still getting the above usage message and no client reports for the server itself.
I get the same kind of usage message if I try:
server/bin/bb 0.0.0.0 "drop xxxf501 conn"
When I copy the client/bb & common/bb binaries from the 2007-07-25 snapshot build directory over to client/bin/bb & server/bin/bb, I now get the server's cpu, memory, disk, &c reports.
This is with gcc-4.1.2 & glibc-2.5 on a Gentoo Linux system.
