On a related note, is there a good way to make sure this is being
picked up? CLOCK does not show up in the config report (and apparently
no local tests do, according to the bugs on confreport.cgi).

I used a regex for the servers is is to apply to (obscured):

HOST=%.*(server|devmach).*.umdnj.edu

...which is supposed to pick up loc1serverA.umdnj.edu,
loc2serverB.umdnj.edu, and loc1devmach.umdnj.edu. pcretest would seem
to confrm that this works right, if I understand how THAT works.

However, I tried adding a FILE test that would turn files yellow if a
file that doesn't exist doesn't exist and that didn't work, so I'm now
questioning my regex.
