Hello,
I would first like to say thanx for the awesome documentation and FAQ's that enabled me to install/configure hobbit so quickly.
I have question now that I am new to hobbit.
I have some systems that i would like to install the hobbit client on, but they are running an older version of glibc-2.2.4 . I cant upgrade glib because of conflicts with the vendors software and support contract issues. So I was wondering if I could use bb-central with hobbit. Its sounded perfect for what I need. All it does is SSH into the remote host and pull back the data it needs to monitor. Is there a hobbit-central ??? Or does bb-central work well with hobbit ???
thanx, michael

Is there a problem with just building (compiling) the Hobbit client on these older systems ? That would be the simplest solution.
If you download the source-version of Hobbit (the hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz file from Sourceforge), copy it over to one of these boxes, and unpack it with "tar zxf hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz". cd into the hobbit-4.2.0 directory and run "./configure --client", followed by "make" and "make install". That should give you a client, built for this type of system.
When you're only building the client, you do not need any of the special libraries that the Hobbit server needs. It's designed to work on an almost "bare" system.

Henrik,
Thanx so much for getting back to me so quickly. The problem is that I am running a very, very secure version of Linux called Secure Platform from Checkpoint. They made their own gcc libraries and compiler and Make is not installed. So I downloaded "Make" and tried compiling it and when i try and run ./configure it breaks because the C-compiler is not allowed to create executables. I cant upgrade the libraries because it will break the software.
Here is the output:
[Expert at hobfw]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. [Expert at hobfw]#
Is there anyway to manually install the hobbit-client ??? or any other cool ideas you have ???
thanx, michael

Ouch... I remember them... :(
Do the appliances support SNMP monitoring? If they do you could try using Devmon instead of the client..... (http://devmon.sourceforge.net/)

I'd be interested in hearing about this too :-)
I've only taken a short look at devmon - can it be configured to use a non standard SNMP port? The SecurePlatform SNMP runs on port 260 rather than the standard 161/162.

OK, the best bet then is probably to build the binaries on another system, and link them statically. I.e. find a linux box where you can build the Hobbit client. Run the normal "./configure --client", then edit the generated Makefile and near the bottom right after where it says
Add local CFLAGS etc. settings here
add this line: CFLAGS=-static
Then run "make" as usual and "make install", then you should be able to just copy the client directory to the secured servers.

It worked ;-)
I did just like you said ....

It required some hand editing of the source codes files to link to the currect headers in the include directories. But it worked, and its working now :-)
thanx so much, michael

Michael,
are you running hobbit on IPSO? If so, which major version did you
get it working on? 3.8, 3.9 of 4.?
I was thinking about asking Nokia to build a package, so it is
installable through voyager.
Best regards, Arnoud

Arnoud,
We have a couple Nokia Devices running and I have not tested them yet. I will be doing it sometime in the next 2 weeks and will let you know how it goes. I am assuming this will work because the hobbit-client has a bsd profile in it. Thats the one I will be using when I test it on the nokia's.
Do you want me to send you the statically compiled executable that i am using for Checkpoints Secure Platform?? Their is a couple tricks to get it going, but it worx great. I plan on using the same compiled executable when i test it on IPSO.
thanx, michael
