Any host using this template is added to the group 'solaris-servers'.

For what definitions? This would only make sense for hostgroup  
definitions and is just creating the hostgroup container used by the  
host template above.

It's actually a combination. The service definition above says it  
should be applied to specific hosts (host_name line) *and* all hosts  
in the hostgroup 'solaris-servers' (hostgroup_name). Since the hosts  
are put into the solaris-servers hostgroup courtesy of their use of  
the template that says they should be, this service is applied to them.

If you don't want to apply this service to those devices, remove them  
from the solaris-servers hostgroup _or_ remove the hostgroup_name line  
in the service definition and specify the individual host_names that  
the service _should_ apply to.
