Great idea!

Well, I'll take a short break before I set the tick-mark for public :-)
I think it is a nice idea, too, with 2 minor caveats:

- the probes with type host should remain at the top of the list (the sort
  function for the column seem to not being available yet), and

- rather than "public", or as an alternative, I would prefer to enable known
  users to beceome "viewers" and even be allowed to change configuration.
  This would be very helpful for en environment like ours, where there's more
  than one host for our probes.
  Right now both these numbers are *very* small :-), but if this develops into
  the structure I'd like to see, it will no longer be easy...
