Editing Critical Systems doesn't save the new hosts?

The "Edit Critical Systems" page modifies the hobbit-nkview.cfg file.  The
man pages say not to edit this file directly, though it can be handy to view
the file to see how your changes got made.  I've found that the host names
are whitespace-specific, so if you have a trailing space after the host,
that is treated as part of the host name.

Hi All,

I'd like to set up a few Critical Systems. I'm using the "Edit critical
systems" (hobbit-nkedit.sh) on the hobbit servers webpage. After logging
in,
I fill in all the fields (except for the cloning part) and click the
"Update
record" button. The page quickly refreshes, but the host I've just added,
isn't saved in the Critical Systems view. I've searched the hobbit log
files
and the apache logfiles, but I can't find an error anywhere.

This is a new install (v4.2.0). According to the manuals, I should use
this
new way of editing Critical Systems (instead of the NK tags) cause in a
future release of Hobbit the old style isn't supported anymore.

Can anyone tell where I haven't looked yet?

Thanks in advance!

Dennis
