Hi,

since NW 7.1 it is not allowed for the label template
to contain -,_ (minus, underscore) in the resource name.
Why?? Can anyone give a reasonable explanation?

The point is, that many clients,groups,labels, etc will
be setup automatically in our solaris environment, and
a common distinguishing sign is the hostname. But some
hostname has '-' in it, and therefore cannot be generated
the regular label resource name. As workaround now we
uses sed s/-/@/ but it not too pretty.
Is it a bug or a feature?...

thanks,
Chris
