OK, but I thought I saw a reference in a past mail to something called pagesets. Is this something that I can use to build different views...say, for instance, an executive view to show critical apps that would take systems previously defined under other system-subsets and combine them for an overall application view? Is there info in the man pages?
Yes, the idea with pagesets is that you can group your hosts any way you like - so that the view people have of the hosts is customized to the way they work, instead of having a single view of all hosts. E.g. where I work there is one view where we group servers by customer - this is used by the people responsible for the customer contact - and another view where the servers are grouped by OS - this is used by our second-line support group.
Pagesets have existed for a long time, and are handled entirely by the bbgen tool. There's a description of this in the bbgen man-page (look for the "Building alternate pagesets" section.

I can probably say it is no bug. I do have a few hosts listed twice. I was trying to build different views for different departments. I now think this is the wrong approach and I am supposed to use pagesets??...is that correct?
It's allright to have hosts listed twice, as long as only one host has the network definitions set.
I don't know how well tools like "bb-fetch" handles hosts that are defined twice; perhaps they will pull the status twice and send both reports off to Hobbit, which would also trigger this message.
