hobbit

[Allanm]

I am done setting up the hobbit server and seems like I need to have cc compiler on my clients to be able to install and monitor the clients , is there a workaround if I dont have cc/gcc on the clients.

Please share.

Thanks,
Allan.

Hi

sometimes the application need the compiler.
or if there is any program written in c or c++ language, they need cc/gcc compiler to run.

You don't need a compiler on every client. You just need one on a system so you can compile the client software. You can then push (or preferably bundle and swinstall) the compiled software to the clients.

Thanks for responding Jeff, I got the compilation to work on one of the server which has cc/gcc, another problem I am facing is that bbproxy is not installed as I have firewall so I cannot connect to 1984. I have never configured bbproxy before. Please share your knowledge on that.

Thanks,
Allan.

Afraid I can't help with that. A coworker has been implementing hobbit to replace Big Brother here. Our firewalls are open to allow traffic on port 1984 though so we don't use bbproxy.

Can you send a bbproxy binary if you have ...my compilations are failing. I think I just need the binary and then pass it some of my own paramters to make it work .

Thanks,
Allan.

Sorry nevermind... I got it from the server itself. duh!:)

Hi Jeff/Others,

I have finished setting up hobbit for linux and hp-ux clients but my solaris clients are not working/compiling due to several issues. Can you send me a hobbitlaunch binary for a solaris system.

Thx,
Allan.

Asking/mentiong Solaris will get the thread removed.
