Other _good_ method is to enter another config name in the 'new-host'. It
works fine (in reality, it is doing import-config'.

Brian, can you verify, that osiris recognize names in format

  L:\something

as ABSOLUTE name, not relative names?

Peter is correct.  You need to change to a host before the import will
work.  However, I recommend not using the 'import-config' command at
all, if possible; it is one of the original commands before there were
default configs.

I recommend doing the following if you want to customize a config for a
new host:

1. create the host with the 'new-host' command.
2. when asked to initialize it, say yes, but don't start the initial
scan.  you should now have a 'default' config.
3. edit the default config with the following command:  'edit-config
default'
4. edit the config to your liking, and save it.
5. create a baseline for your host with:   'push-config default' and
then 'scan'.

I hope this helps.
