As a BB-fan and System Manager, I'm interested in what Hobbit can do for me instead of BB. So I'm compiling Hobbit on my Mac running OS 10.3.8, with gnu make 3.79, rrdtool 1.0.49, prerequisite libraries (ldap, ssl, pcre; need version nr?) build from scratch using 'fink commander 0.5.3', so I'm able to run the configure script.
I made some (minor) adaptations to have it run correctly since /etc/passwd is not actually used and the configure script won't run without these adaptations and the build/*scripts* to have it look for the libraries in /sw, where fink commander puts it results (libraries and so on) - (I'll supply them to the community after I have Hobbit running).
I've had some correspondance with two other people who have built Hobbit on Mac OS X, and currently have a number of changes in my source tree that makes Hobbit build almost without problems in that environment.
The one issue that is pending is precisely the one you mention about /etc/passwd not being used, so if you know how to work around that in the configuration phase, I would be very interested to have that info. If you send it to me, I can merge it for the final release.
