Hmm. What issues are you seeing? I've been able to recompile my own RPMs between RHEL 4 and 5 (well, CentOS 4 and 5...) without noticing anything unusual.

I use the 4.2.3 client on many RHEL4 and RHEL5 servers without a problem. I compile from source though.

I recall someone else on the list saying they had problems with the client on systems that were in-place upgrades to RHEL5.2. Don't remember what version of the client though.

The / directory (where /home is located) is 5% full/. There is 50 GB free. There is only 1% of the inodes in use. This is a RHEL 5.3 system that I just built.

This may be irrelevant, but... That sounds like an issue I had with CA Unicenter some years ago. When I created the 50Gb filesystem Solaris allocated the default number of inodes for me. That number turned out to be close to INT_MAX, which is 2147483647. With only about 2,000 inodes in use, there was a rollover in the math so it looked like the available inode count was negative, which triggered an alert.

So, how many *total* inodes are there in the filesystem?? That might lead us somewhere.

I had the same problem with RHEL5 and I traced it to a difference with the sort command. The rel 5 sort does not support "sort +" option.

As a work around I copied the REL4 sort to bb/bin and changed the bbdef.local SORT= to point to the bb/bin/sort

REL5 now works

Folks

I'm having a problem with the Enable/Disable option under the Administration tab. Our hobbit server died overnight. Rather than replace the motherboard, we moved the disks to another Dell box, same model, and booted up. When hobbit was running again, I noticed that none of the information about devices/servers/services that had been disabled through the web browser interface were preserved. I also noticed that I can only see the list of devices/servers/services to enable/disable now if I go the individual page where the item is listed. The entire list is not showing up on the main page any more.

Can someone tell me where to find the information that is configured from the web browser for the Enable/Disable administrative option? Is that stored in a file? And does anyone have an idea why the full list of entries from bb-hosts is not shown when I go to Enable/Disable from the main page?

We are running hobbit 4.2 on a RHEL4 server. As far as I've been able to determine, hobbit seems to be running normally otherwise.

Thanks for your help.

Would that have cleared out the configuration? When the server booted up, the Ethernet cable was plugged into the wrong port. We just moved it and then enabled the port. I think hobbit ran for about 1.5 hr until I rebooted it. So I know when it initially came up, it would not have been able to find the NTPD server. But the time wasn't horribly off. After the reboot at lunch, all services would have started normally. I just verified that ntpd was running, and ran ntpdate. Ntpdate showed a minimal time difference.

I would have thought it's in a physical file somewhere because the information doesn't disappear between reboots. The server/tmp/hobbit.chk file looks like the right file.

That's it the hobbitd.chk file. If time on the server was off, then the hobbitd process would have either cleared the items or decided that they were eligible to be disabled yet.
