Actually, if a family is fully enabled, then the new plugins in that
family are enabled by default. Otherwise, if you start to disable some
plugins in given families, or if the family is disabled, then new
plugins in this family will indeed be disabled.

no notion of host name, IP, etc...

I need to check this. That's probably because a reverse lookup on the
IP does not work, but I'll get back to you on this one.
