To summarize: It does not seem to recognize any Key value, but does
recognize the word Key. It does recognize HostName and Default values.

Any idea, as this would suggest I also will not be able to change any
value.

Oh and the backend version is 0.27.5_p20150627 from Gentoo. And now
I'm surprised as not to long ago I ran a general update as I do at
least every other month and it seems to have mist quite some????
The frontends are on the latest: 0.27.5_p20151025 from Gentoo.

I'll do an update later today and see what that does.
