using the hobbit client. I am having problems with 2 of my clients that are running Red Hat 9. They seem to be sending data but the server is not collecting the data. Other client systems are working. Any ideas of where I need to look?????

Most common cause for this is that the clients are reporting data with a hostname which is different than what you have in the bb-hosts file. Typically, one side has the fully-qualified hostname, and the other only has the raw hostname (without domain).

The client uses the "uname -n" command to determine what name it uses to report data. Check if this matches the name you have in bb-hosts. If it doesn't, you can either start the client with the "--hostname=my.host.name" option, or you can put a CLIENT:clienthostname tag on the host definition in the bb-hosts file.
