Thanks 

My default was first in the list. So I could not understand why certain
things worked but others not. All is well not.

Regards
Neil

Hi !

the first rule match, so if you have special rules for a host or a group
in the hobbit-client.cfg before the default entry, it will match ..

https://it-hobbit/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html

RULES: APPLYING SETTINGS TO SELECTED HOSTS

The entire file is evaluated from the top to bottom, and the first match

found is used. So you should put the specific settings first, and the 
generic ones last.

cheers,
 	martin
