Hello,

Using Xymon 4.3.7 I want to add a '.default.' entry to my hosts.cfg
file, but am unsure of its syntax. The man page for hosts.cfg says
'...you can define a host name ".default." and put...'.

so does that mean:

   .default.    noclear
or
   127.0.0.1   .default.  noclear

What do I enter as the IP address, or can it be anything or can it be
left out completely?

The man page is not clear on this, so perhaps a full example would help?
It seems it does require an IP address (I'm using 0.0.0.0), and that it
must be the first entry in the hosts.cfg file.


John.
