I can't get any data from my client to the server. I think I know the problem but I do have 1 question. How is the data moved back and forth between the client and the server? telnet? ftp? The reason that I'm asking is, this is what I see when I run the command - bb {IP address} "pullclient":
2008-02-07 08:54:15 Could not connect to bbd@{IP address}:1984 - Connection refused
2008-02-07 08:54:15 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed
If the data is moved via telnet, I have a problem. My company requires that I turn off telnet on all Solaris 10 boxes. Any ideas?
Thank you,

The protocol is not telnet. That happens over port 23. Hobbit comms are done via a hobbit protocol over port 1984. It's too bad the port can't be changed to 'eleventy hundred' or something close. ;-) It sounds like you don't have the client running on that machine where you're trying to pull data from.

The client connects the the host configured in BBDISP (or all the hosts configured in BBDISPLAYS) on the port 1984, or if specified, the port in BBPORT.
For example, the 'bb' tool does this.
So, not telnet or ftp.
However, if you want the server to collect the data from the client, by setting the pulldata option in bb-hosts for this client, you need to run the 'hobbitfetch' task on the server, and the 'msgcache' task on the client.
The reason that I'm asking is, this is what I see when I run the command - bb {IP address} "pullclient":
Why do you think you should be running this command?

Notice bb isn't managing to connect to port 1984 on the IP address.

It's not.
My company requires that I turn off telnet on all Solaris 10 boxes.
IMHO it shouldn't be enabled by default ...
Any ideas?
If you are trying to run with the pulldata method, is msgcache running on the client? It listens on port 1984 ...
