Yes it should. I fear I newer learn regex. :-)

Now this seem to work. But I have some troubles with other filter 
expressions and a general understanding question.

1. If I have more than one matching expression in hobbit-clients.cfg, 
which one(s) will be used:

HOST=s068a300
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red 
IGNORE=%(smb_proc_readdir_long|peer)
HOST=s068a2.*
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red   IGNORE=%(bla|laber)
DEFAULT
        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   COLOR=red   IGNORE="ignore always"

2. Do I have to use a regex if I have multiple words to detect, like on 
the first statement? If I have many words to filter out the IGNORE 
statement may become lengthy. Can I have multiple IGNOREs to get a better 
readability?

3. What is the syntax if I have spaces in the expression. Is it like the 
DEFAULT statement above?
