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?
