# # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. # On small systems, this file can be used instead of a # "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses # and any aliases to this file... # # By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen says that 127.0.0.1 # should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems # for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^) # # For loopbacking. 127.0.0.1 localhost # This next entry is technically wrong, but good enough to get TCP/IP apps # to quit complaining that they can't verify the hostname on a loopback-only # Linux box. 127.0.0.1 salixlive.salixos.org salixlive # End of hosts.
