Problems with recent snapshots
Hello,
I'm running this test setup:
A server running Solaris 9 and the latest hobbit snapshot (downloaded and installed today), and
a client running Windows 2003 with BBWin 0.11
This seems to work using central configuration of the BBWin client, with a few problems:
In the msgs column, the output from the BBWin client and the local client on the server gets mixed up in the web pages. I can see /var/adm/messages as well as eventlog entries in the same web page. Also there is a large blank space at the top ot the page. The client data seems ok.
The hobbitclient.sh script, which should run hobbitclinet-sunos.sh, tries to run hobbitclient-SunOS.sh which doesn'nt exist. The problem is in this line: BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-
uname -s | tr '[A-Z/]' '[a-z_]'.sh" In an older version this line reads BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-uname -s | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'.sh" which works, so it seems that tr doesn't like the added / to _ conversion.

Could you try with hobbit 4.2 with bbwin patch ? I'm sure you won't have this issue on the stable release. The snapshot seems to be unstable these days because I think some important modifications are being made on the core.

Right ... seems "tr" doesnt like this. Fixed in the next snapshot.

I think most of the core-dumping / non-compiling bugs I've introduced lately should be fixed now.
But you're somewhat right - there are some changes happening. We are adding a bunch of servers where bandwidth might be limited, so today I've added compression of the messages going between clients and hobbitd. Seems client data can compress around a 4:1 ratio.

Could you tell us how you implemented this ? What type of compression do you use ? (so I can see how to implement it for Windows clients :) )

Compression would also garble the data so that it's not being sent plaintext. Not as good as real encryption, but better than nothing :)
