Re: [munin-users] node-register need more info

This seems like a hack to me. Although it would work, shouldn't the
munin-master have a method for registering nodes?
This seems like it should be a pretty standard function to me.

i.e.: Store a nodelist in the database, reference the nodelist for which
nodes to graph, not a flat .conf file.
