I have a computer on my local network for which I would like to use a nice alias, and therefore I put an entry in /etc/hosts. After a while this change is undone. The entry is gone from /etc/hosts. It happens repeatedly for several days now. Do you know why this is happening? |

In this case you might need to catch the culprit process that is editing the file. Tools like fseventer or just the command line tool Many programs are known to edit that file destructively, but guessing which might be harder than simply tracking your instance down. Please edit this or answer yourself if you do find the culprit in your instance. |
