And this user agrees with that: Why is my hosts file reseting on reboot? http://superuser.com/questions/52973/why-is-my-hosts-file-reseting-on-reboot So I can only think in a DNS server or an external policy coming from the provider that is enforcing the content of the "/etc/hosts" file. But I would better ask them before making any change. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
