This didnt seem to work for me, but I did as Thomas suggested and that
works OK. (A minor annoyance though is that I still see my PRIVATE:
machines in the "All non-green view", I think I saw some option I can set
to avoid this too... maybe that is "nodisp", hm.)

However - and I reckon this is a bug in my running version of Hobbit
(4.2pre downloaded a few weeks ago) that might be fixed in the current
alpha release: If I go to "Administration / Find host", no matter what
machine I type it always says that the location is "Top page".
