Is there something we could change to get that behaviour?
I've not looked into what's going on with jwchat, but I've been looking at mDNS for the last couple of days, and I think it could be really useful for avoiding modification of the user's hosts file. In short: - set up the freedombox's hostname as normal - install avahi-daemon on it - point your desktop system (with libnss-mdns installed) at http://fbx.local/ or similar. Windows support needs more to get going - you can install Bonjour, which is Apache-licensed. Tim
