Something like that, yes. Or, just the name changed, as there seems to be a
space/formatting issue looming.
But, I cannot seem to get either NAME: or COMMENT: to take effect. Obviously, I have not
grasped the syntax from the man page.
BTW, any hints on how to get list mail sent to me would be appreciated. I had to resort to
to the archives to find this. Must be in digest mode, by default.
And, thanks for the prompt replies. Feel free to reply direct to me, as well, for now.

If you're trying to get something descriptive on the display line for each
host, see the COMMENT tag in the bb-hosts manpage. "Description" is the
name of a field in the DESCR tag, but the contents go on the Info page,
not on the main display. By default, Xymon wants to look up the host
names in DNS (or at least using a resolver function), and thus they should
be RFC-compliant.
