Class Definition and Exclusions Syntax

[Brian E. Seppanen]

I have a couple of hosts that are part of an overall class that I want a 
particular action to occur on, but on these hosts, I have to exclude them 
from this class. 

The overall class is very large, so I'd rather do an exclude of the three 
hosts, rather than define a new class of a hundred hosts

Here's what I have

sunos_5_7|sunos_5_8.!192_168_0_1|192_168_0_2|192_168_0_3::

Here's how I want it to work 

perform action on all hosts that are sunos_5_7 or sunos_5_8, and not 
192_168_0_1 or 192_168_0_2 or 192_168_0_3

the following definition up above doesnt seem to work 

it seems to work fine up to 192_168_0_1, but at 192_168_0_2 it doesn't 
match.

Can someone possibly show me what I'm doing wrong, or possibly explain it 
better, or even point to the tutorial or reference where I might find the 
answer.

I would appreciate it.

Solaris 8 running cfengine 2.0.8p1
