Empty hostgroups work just fine. The check that says this is so starts at line 12516 in xdata/xodtemplate.c as of latest CVS/git.

That's an entirely different thing. You could add "register 0" to the fake host definition. Not sure if that would work, but it's possible that it does. > Does that sound reasonable, another way to do this I've missed? > The hopefully-up-and-coming way of handling this is to use service sets, a feature I've been thinking of for quite some time now. It can be safely implemented without altering the object structure version, which is quite nice, and will mean you can assign a set of services to a host from within the definition of that host. The idea is to, in the long run, use service sets to create full host types that can be shared among community members.
