All, I have a rhel3 system running the hobbit-4.2.0 client, it was installed from source. After invoking it with ./runhobbit.sh as the hobbit user the client runs long enough to return good data for the preset check (cpu/mem/etc...) to my hobbit host. After around 30minutes all agent based tests turn purple. I see nothing of interest in the log files:

On your hobbit server if you run the following command as hobbit what do you get?

bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status hobbitd_capture --hosts=<your rhel3 systems hostname>

I tried applying the all in one patch and recompiling with make then make

install to no avail. Any suggetions on how to continue trouble shooting would be helpful. Also tcpdump on the host sytem and the client system show only a short burst of information being sent over port 1984 when the clients first starts then nothing after that.

Thanks -Aaron
