This may be a local problem, but after I built hobbit with this new 
patch in place my old maint.pl remained and the only way I could access 
the new script was by manually typing in the correct path URL.

hobbit-enadis.cgi displays an administration page very much

I like the new enadis page layout much more than the last.  However, I 
do have one comment--there is no easy way to enable several hosts at 
once, they still have to be done one by one.  Can this be changed to 
allow group enables?
