What version are you using? The group does need to be defined separately from the hosts, and it does need to have at least one member, but (on the setups I work with, anyway) that member does *not* need to be defined in the hostgroup definition. For example, I have quite a few hostgroup definitions that look like this, and they work fine, as long as at least one host is defined as a member in its host definition: define hostgroup { hostgroup_name blade alias Blade Servers } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
