Update: Adjusted the /usr/libexec/hobbit issues by putting a sym link into the directory (directory existed, but client directory didn't). This did not fix the error.

Ralph,

I did check through the directory tree and it's got full ownership permissions through the client tree as you would expect.

I just ran the bbcmd to see what the environment looked like, and I see it has /usr/libexec/hobbit/client for the bbhome and hobbit home.

I bet I don't have those directories, though I know where they came from.

I tried compiling the 4.2.0 client from the source, but was unable to get it to compile as it had floating point errors. I found the rpm on razor's edge and installed that. That did an odd install that put things in a number of places, so that's probably where that comes from, so now I need to figure out how to get the paths straightened out in the bbcmd environment.

Thanks for the pointer, I don't know why I hadn't checked all that more closely.

Does anyone know why I can't get the 4.2.0 source to compile on RHEL 3 ?

Seems to me that's the kind of message to expect if someone either removes a directory the process is running in, or possibly chmod's (or maybe chown's) some part of the tree so that it can't be accessed by the running process.

I'm not a RHEL expert, but that's where I'd start on any Unix-like system. Even if you don't have any 'files' tests defined, Hobbit still has to be able to reach its own config files, log files, etc.

I posted about this last week, as well as searching the archives.

Is anyone else seeing this :

shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

I'm seeing it on one of our RHEL 3 servers, the other two don't display this error, and I have no idea what directories they are looking for. I don't have any 'files' tests defined. The archives had one reference to this, but it was a Debian system and the solution was unclear to me.
