I just noticed that after I upgraded to rc2, selecting the enable/disable tool from the menu when viewing a group of systems only allows me to enadis those systems in the group that I was just viewing. The only way to see all systems on my network is to go back to the main view, then use the enadis tool. (Or I can cheat and click "Apply filters" in the Filter Hostlist box while leaving all the search fields empty).
That's not cheating - that's the way I wanted it to work.
"It's a feature - not a bug" as every software developer says when faced with two incompatible requests.
In my setup, the full list of hosts is about 2000 systems. You really don't want to pick hosts from a selection list that size ...
How can I revert back to the old way, where selecting enable/disable from the menu will display all the systems?
You can modify the hobbit-enadis.sh wrapper script and unset the HTTP_COOKIE variable that is used to track what page the request comes from. Put HTTP_COOKIE= export HTTP_COOKIE before the "exec /..../hobbit-enadis.cgi" line.
I can see how this new behavior is useful, but I've also witnessed first hand how it can be confusing as well.
Sorry ... but I think the confusion happens only because you've been used to the way the maint.pl script works.
