Re: [nv-l] Seed file entries can't be seen via Network Monitor Seed File Editor

Seed file editor bad, very bad. I never use it. It messes up comments and
formats the seedfile poorly. I only use a text editor to edit my seedfile.
I have a lot of comments in my seedfile. The ONE time I used the seedfile
editor it did not keep the comments in the same order as I added them. I
just don't like the seedfile editor.

Hi  Group members,

We are running the UNIX version of NetView 7.1.3 with FixLevels
NVS(C)7130 and use a seed file called "host.seed" in "/etc" for network
discovery. The file was/is always edited according to the rules
described in /etc/hosts using the vi editor.
If I now try to open the file using the Network Monitor Seed File
Editor out of Server Setup I cannot see any of the thousands of entries
in the file. As a test I added some devices via the Editor which are
displayed afterwards.
Does that mean that I cannot use the Network Monitor Seed File Editor
for editing an existing seedfile or is there a chance to use it for
future changes ?
Thank you very much for any help.

Cordially,

Georg Gangl
