[Buildbot-devel] StatusClient doesn't work with 0.7.1

[Mark Garboden]

I don't think you can, or should, change the login and password.
I think it assumes the defaults.

First you need a server side status port to connect to.  I have:
c['status'].append(client.PBListener(9998))

Then you can run the client.  I use:
buildbot statusgui -m localhost:9998&

I actually added a statusgui target to the Makefile.
