Ah, I remember now... Our patch was for something different.

I manage over 400 firewalls.  So we made the hostname a link to https://<IP>;


Nevermind!

Our installation does that as well (4.2.0) but we made no
modifications
in that regard.  Maybe the COMMENT functionality was adjusted
recently,
or your patch was incorporated?

We actually made a patch against the code to show the COMMENT tag with
the host name.

So, if your config line looks like
192.168.1.99    wormhole.localdomain.com #  fgtses COMMENT:"Firewall"

You get
wormhole.localdomain.com (Firewall)

on your web pages.

I can see about generating a patch against 4.2.1, but we have some
other
features we added as well.

The COMMENT tag is working well. But the COMMENT is displayed next to
the hostname. I want the DESCR to be displayed in a tooltip box. I've
searched and found a little java script which generates a tooltip box.
It uses the onMouseOver event.

<script type="text/javascript" src="wz_tooltip.js"></script>

<a href="index.htm" onmouseover="Tip('Some Text')">Startpage</a>

My problem is how to read the DESCR out of the bb-hosts file and then
integrate this in the html code.
