OK, thanks!

I found out about this and more in the bbgen man page :)

However, now the bbnet check keeps flapping yellow with :

  Error output:
  Host bigbrother.uninett.no appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause
  strange results


bb-hosts has:

page uninett-bb Overvåkning
group-only bbgen|bbtest|hobbitd|muninserver <b>Overvåkning</b>
0.0.0.0   bigbrother.uninett.no       # NAME:Hobbit COMMENT:"Dette er en test" noconn noinfo bbd muninserver

page uninett-viktig Viktige UNINETT-maskiner
group-except bbd|bbgen|bbtest|hobbitd|muninserver <b>Viktige maskiner</b>
158.38.130.84   bigbrother.uninett.no # prefer ssh https://bigbrother.uninett.no/ https://munin.uninett.no/

Also, despite NAME: and COMMENT:, it still just outputs "bigbrother.uninett.no"

Version installed is 4.2-beta-20060605 still.. :/

Ideas?
