Yes - only alphanumeric, dot, dash, and underscore are permitted: Hostgroup Entries Hostgroup entries begin with the keyword hostgroup, and are followed by a hostgroup tag and one or more hostnames or IP addresses, separated by whitespace. The hostgroup tag must be composed of alphanumeric charac- ters, a dash ("-"), a period ("."), or an underscore ("_"). Non-blank lines following the first hostgroup line are interpreted as more host- names. The hostgroup definition ends with a blank line. For example: hostgroup servers nameserver smtpserver nntpserver nfsserver httpserver smbserver hostgroup router_group cisco7000 agsplus _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
