Bug#686456: hobbit-plugins -- configuration for 'libs' test

[Dr. F. Lee]

Package: hobbit-plugins
Severity: wishlist

The libs test is doing a fine job on almost every system. One where it 
fails is on an imap server where imapd holds open some deleted files 
indicating which messages have been seen by the user. This results in a 
'false' yellow - 'false', at least, as far as the sysadmins are concerned 
although the script is behaving perfectly well.

I suggest a config file in /etc/hobbit which permits the administrator to 
over-ride tests for a particular process: a patch and sample config are 
attached.

Yours,

Frank
