/etc/hosts overwritten

Hi all.
I noticed that in Lion my /etc/hosts and /private/hosts gets overwritten at boot time. This is rather annoying as I would use said file to store the IP to name translations of some local computers.
Before editining I would always become root and use nano to edit the file.
Question: how do I make the changes to the hosts file permanent?
Thanks,
zidarko

Well you could lock it. But it is better to find out who is clobbering it. I've seen posts about something like this before but it slips my mind exactly what the fix was.
Look in /etc/ and see if there other "hosts" files like host.bac, hosts.ac, etc. If you find them delete them. I'm assuming there might be one that is used to clobbler yours.
Aslo see if this has any connection to your problem:

/etc/hosts works but gets overwritten every boot

On my system (10.6.8) I can edit /etc/hosts and the changes take effect immediately. The problem is that every time I reboot, my changes are overwritten. Does anyone know what could cause this? BTW this is the exact same unsolved issue found in this dead archived thread.

"servy" is a computer on my lan that uses DHCP and registers its name with my router which serves DNS. If I comment out the line for "servy" in my hosts file, it immediately takes effect and I can successfully ping it, or lookup its address with "dscacheutil -q host -a name servy", but as soon as I reboot, the /etc/hosts file no longer has the comment in that line. It's like there's a "last known good" copy of the hosts file somewhere and OSX or some service is restoring it every boot.

SCAN LISTENER runs from only one node at a time from /etc/hosts !

Dear all ,
Recently I have to configure RAC in oracle 11g(r2) in AIX 6.1 . Since in this moment it is not possible to configure DNS, so I dont use SCAN ip into the DNS/GNS, I just add the SCAN ip into the host file like :
cat /etc/hosts
SCAN 172.17.0.22
Got the info from : http://www.freeoraclehelp.com/2011/12/scan-setup-for-oracle-11g-release211gr2.html#ORACLE11GR2RACINS
After configuring all the steps of RAC , Every services are ok except SCAN_LISTENER . This listener is up only one node at a time . First time when I chek it from node1 , it shows :
srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is running on node dcdbsvr1
now when I relocate it from node 2 using
"srvctl relocate scan -i 1-n DCDBSVR2" , then the output shows :
srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is running on node dcdbsvr2
Baring these , we have to try to relocate it from the node2 by the following way, then it shows the error :
srvctl relocate scan -i 2 -n DCDBSVR2
resource ora.scan2.vip does not exists
Now my question , How can I run the SCAN and SCAN_LISTENER both of the NODES ?
Here is my listener file (which is in the GRID home location) configuration :
Listener File OF NODE1 AND NODE 2:
==================================
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER_SCAN1=ON
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER=ON
LISTENER_SCAN1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC) (KEY = LISTENER_SCAN1)
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_SCAN1 = /U01/APP/ORACLE
2)
Another issue , when I give the command : " ifconfig -a " , then it shows the SCAN ip either node1 or node2 . suppose if the SCAN ip is in the node1 , and then if I run the "relocate" command from node2 , the ip goes to the Node 2 . is it a correct situation ? advice plz ... ...
thx in advance .. ...

After configuring all the steps of RAC , Every services are ok except SCAN_LISTENER . This listener is up only one node at a time . First time when I chek it from node1 , it shows :If I am not wrong and after looking at the document you sent, you will be able to use only once scan in case you use /etc/host file and this will be up on only one node where you added this scan entry in /etc/hosts file.
Now my question , How can I run the SCAN and SCAN_LISTENER both of the NODES ?Probably you can't in your case, you might run only one i think and on one node only
srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is running on node dcdbsvr1
now when I relocate it from node 2 using
"srvctl relocate scan -i 1 -n DCDBSVR2" , then the output shows :
srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is running on node dcdbsvr2You moved scan listener from node 1 to node 2, OK
Baring these , we have to try to relocate it from the node2 by the following way, then it shows the error :
srvctl relocate scan -i 2 -n DCDBSVR2
resource ora.scan2.vip does not exists
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Since you have only one scan, you can't relocate "2". So ise "1" instead here also

Adding the /etc/host.deny file like linux in solaris 10.

Dears,
I need to add a file which will works like the file of /etc/hosts.deny of Linux in Solaris.
If it is possible in the same manner please let me know that, and if it need some other trick to deny a specific host to access the system please tell me the way to do that.
Eagerly waiting to hear from you.
BR//
Sohel.

IPfilter can deny a specific IP address access to the host - enable IPFilter with svcadm and edit the /etc/ipf/ipf.conf file to add the IP to block. An example could be:
block in log quick on bnx0 proto tcp from 192.168.1.5/32 to any
I use IPfilter to pass and block all sorts of specific IP addresses as well as block/allow specific ports (like only specific hosts can use port 22, ssh).

The new entries made in /etc/hosts file is not picked up by Weblogic.

Hi All,
I have come across a scenario where i have changed the IP address of a particular host name (which was already present in etc/hosts) to point to a new IP address.
After i did this change, when i do a telnet test to the same hostname, i can see it is getting connected to the new IP to which i changed. But my service which is deployed on weblogic 10.0 still keeps sending requests to the old IP which i commented in the etc/hosts file instead of the new IP address.
My question is will weblogic cache the data in etc/hosts file somewhere?
Thanks in anticipation..
Madhu

Application deployed on weblogic server will pick the IP address of the server on which the application is deployed .
IP address or listen address for weblogic server can be configured in 3 different ways :
Listen Address : Blank --- This means that the server will listen to all the interfaces available on the Machine .
Listen Address : IP address or Hostname --- The server will listen only to the specified IP address or the hostname .
Listen Address : : localhost --- The server will be listening only on localhost address and will not be accessible remotely .
Please check what it the listen address specified at you end.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Network-profiles (1) and /etc/hosts

Hi everyone,
i've got a few network-profiles, especially in one network I have to use a static ip to connect to the internet. The only entry in the /etc/hosts which works correctly - without any error messages - for me, is
192.168.0.99 localhost.localdomain myhost
If I use something like 127.0.0.1 in front and simply add my hostname at the end, I can't connect with the Inet, unfortunately. I did not test it, but I'm pretty sure, that this host configuration won't work in any other network, where I get a dynamic IP from the DHCP. Is there a possibility to write the content of the /etc/hosts with netcfg, like the /etc/resolv.conf for example?
MfG Skit

Because you didn't specify what localhost was in your hosts file. It only knows of localhost.localdomain(does not imply 'localhost') and acer being the loopback.
I think he understood that.
'localhost' is universally understood as the loopback.
this is some kind of 'magic' answer isn't it? the resolving doesn't come out as a miracle... and that is IMHO what needs explanation.
his computer alone doesn't (obviously) get it because sure, it's not set. now what 'magic' makes it known when a cable is plugged in? the computer tries to reslove locally (via /etc/hosts), fails at it, and then asks the dns server about it. so I reckon the dns server is instructed on replying '127.0.0.1' for a 'localhost' hostname request. why so? because dns servers have an option to look at their local /etc/host for resolving before delegating to bigger servers, so the dns server certainly has localhost matching 127.0.0.1 in his /etc/host, and blindly replies accordingly, oblivious to the fact that he is replying about his 'own' 127.0.0.1 to someone else.

In the command line how do I find the etc/host file? is there one?

I am trying to work remotely and use our lotus notes system (which is from a windows based server) but I have to connect to the mail server and our IT person wants to find the equivalent of the Windows host file or host table . is there such a file? we went here
http://linux.die.net/man/5/hosts
hosts(5) - Linux man page
Name
hosts - The static table lookup for host names
Synopsis
/etc/hosts
thanks

Since you're using a Macintosh, quit reviewing linux stuff. These, when entered in the Terminal app (inside /Applications/Utilities/) should point you in the right direction:
*cat /etc/hosts*
details in:
*man hosts*
FWIW, you should search the Unix forum (or post your query there) under OS X Technologies.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM and SCAN and DNS and /etc/hosts (two) setup questions

Hi,
I am looking forward to setting up two Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances
on my Oracle VM test machine.
I plan on using the Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM template.
I want the final Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances to have SCAN that uses DNS.
The DNS will be pre-installed in the JeOS.
My first simple question about the setup is the following.
In my DNS name file, for example,
/var/named/chroot/var/named/milkyway.univ.db
do I need to provide the racnode1 and racnode2 information,
for example,
# DNS name file (snippet)
myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
racnode1 IN A 192.168.1.161
racnode1-vip IN A 192.168.1.163
racnode2 IN A 192.168.1.162
racnode2-vip IN A 192.168.1.164
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
Or, can I just provide only the rac-scan information
# DNS name file alternate (snippet)
myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
What I am getting at is the following.
Within the install process, will racnode1, racnode1-vip, racnode2,
and racnode2-vip host names and their IP address be written
to the RAC instances /etc/hosts files? (So I should not bother
to put them in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file alternate (snippet)'?)
Or, should I put the racnode and racnode-vip host names and IP addresses
in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file (snippet)'?
The second question is the following.
Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?
Currently, I would plan them to be different,
for example, rac-cluster and rac-scan.
Or, are they required to be the same,
for example, rac-cluster and rac-cluster.
Thank you.

We write this data out to /etc/hosts just to reduce the amount of round-trip DNS requests the cluster nodes make for themselves.
Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?They can be different.

Editing etc\hosts file on windows xp for apps. problem post installation.

Hi all,
I was able to install 11.5.10.2 apps on my win xp prof machine. During that process I had to edit the etc/hosts file in windows directory as a work around for that domain name field during installation. Also added the primary DNS suffix as 'suneel.com' . I gave the domain name as 'suneel.com' during installation. The RapidWiz is taking localhost as the system name and referring to this system as localhost.suneel.com, though the actual system name is 'websoft-xp' .
The host file on Apps machine has the following entries:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.suneel.com suneel.com
127.0.0.1 websoft-xp.suneel.com
So when I connect to apps login server from other systems in lan, I've to edit their hosts file and add an entry for localhost.suneel.com to point to its ip address or else the apps throws an error after logging in as operations/welcome using a different url say 192.168.1.4:8000 . Is there a way to get around this issue?
More over I'm not able connect to VIS db from other systems. The oracle clients give an error 'No listner' at this address. (The original listener was listening at localhost.suneel.com:1521). So I tried to create a new listerner from Net Manager that actually listens at websoft-xp (the real system name) but it throws me an error 'A valid log file is required' while saving the network configuration and prevents me from saving the network configuration.
Did I do something wrong with the hosts file during installation or did i miss any entries in that file thats causing this? Any solutions for the above problems will be appreciated?
Thanks

Well I tried that option but for some reason it didn't work for me. It kept giving the tns:connection closed error. Then I searched in metalink and found this note : Note:333158.1
It suggested setting tcp.validnode_checking = no
in sqlnet.ora. in
F:\oracle\visdb\9.2.0\network\admin\VIS_websoft-xp
And it works. Hope this helps someone facing a similar problem. Good luck.
BTW how do I run autoconfig?
Thanks,

Blocking Ad servers via etc/host file not working

In Snow Leopard I add a list of ad servers and direct them to 127.0.0.1 via the /ect/host file.
I've configured the host file on my mac mini server and it doesn't work.
i just want to block ads when using browsers ON the Mini.
How can I achieve this?

Yeah; that's an old-time Windows and Unix hack.
There are ad-blocking extensions for all major web browsers, and those are easier to manage and maintain.
Off the top, I'd have to check the search order to see if I was getting a response from remote DNS or from /etc/hosts here.
If you're running a Mac OS X Server box, you're hopefully also running DNS services, and if you're running DNS services, then that's going to be where this hackery gets implemented. Add bogus zones. And if DNS gets an answer from its cache, I wouldn't tend to expect it to go read /etc/hosts (for performance reasons), for that matter.
There may well be an ad-blocking DNS server around you can forward queries to, too; I haven't looked for that.
If you make changes to your local /etc/hosts setup, try issuing the following to clear the cache:
dnscacheutil -flushcache
I'd recommend installing an ad-blocker. /etc/hosts is an old-school approach and can end up causing weirdnesses on errors, particularly if your box is (also) a DNS server for your LAN. (Also realize that Apple isn't documenting the /etc/hosts file in the Mac OS X Server 10.6 networking manual.)

Weblogic 7.0 sp4 failing to resolve from /etc/hosts on solaris 8

I have the corresponding entries in the /etc/hosts file on the machine for these
host names. The telnet and a standalone java client can resolve these host names
but not weblogic. Can anybody give some hints to fix this issue? The same code
and same version of the weblogic work fine on other two machines.
I have attached the application log file for the exact error messages.
Many thanks ...

I have the corresponding entries in the /etc/hosts file on the machine
for these
host names. The telnet and a standalone java client can resolve these
host names
but not weblogic. Can anybody give some hints to fix this issue? The
same code
and same version of the weblogic work fine on other two machines.
I have attached the application log file for the exact error messages.
Many thanks ...

Entry in /etc/hosts.allow for insecure VNC?

I read the ssh wiki article which teaches to add an entry to /etc/hosts.allow for sshd. I am know that tunneling vnc through sshd is the way to go security wise, however, there are cases where I need to switch on un-encrypted vnc for the purposes of sharing my X11 session with family members. Anyway, my question deals with an entry in the /etc/hosts.allow for gnome's desktop sharing (which is vnc as I understand it). Does anyone know the syntax to allow vnc for any incoming connection (default port of 5900).
I have tried:
vino: ALL
Xvnc: ALL
X11vnc: ALL
None of which worked.
Thanks!

when I don't know what's the name of the process listening to specific port, I always execute
netstat -tnlp
to get the proper processes' names.

/etc/hosts Prank Gone Wrong, need help restoring files to original

Some friends were messing around on my computer and playing a joke on me
using the sudo pico /etc/hosts command they were able to send me from sites I wanted to visit, like facebook, to sites I didnt want to visit..
what they wrote was:
67.55.108.167 facebook.com
67.55.108.167 www.facebook.com
I have since deleted it but the every time I go to facebook from another sight I am still redirected. The odd part is that I can go to facebook, but only after ive been redirected. What I mean is, I try to go to facebook, get redirected, then try to go to facebook right away. If I do that it works fine. Also Safari is the only internet browser that is effected. Opera and Firefox are both un effected. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling safari as well as using the same command as they did, but in reverse. Still no luck. Any suggestion? Unfortunately they didnt back up the /etc/hosts before they edited it

You might also want to flush your DNS cache
dscacheutil -flushcache
Also make that password change.
Look in System Preferences -> Accounts to see if your friends added any new admin accounts or granted an existing account admin access.
If they know how to create ssh-keygen keys, they could have deposited a key in your /private/var/root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file.
There are any number of additional tricks they could have done, if they had admin access. I'm just scratching the surface.
If you do trust these friends, then most likely they just played with /etc/hosts. If they are the kind of friends that get malicious, I would consider the "nuke and pave" reinstall.

/etc/hosts Private Host Name Fully Qualified Domain Name does it matter?

During installation of 11gR1 on Windows 2003 the examples in the installation guide show adding the Private IP and host name to /etc/hosts
However they only add the short name, racnode1, not Fully qualified Domain Name (FQDN), racnode1.mycompany.com
e.g.
10.0.0.1 racnode1
10.0.0.2 racnode2
Later when installing the Clusterware it then expects to see the FQDN, racnode1.mycompany.com, of course you can modify this and remove the domain name and continue. OR go back and add the FQDN in /etc/hosts
e.g.
10.0.0.1 racnode1 racnode1.mycompany.com
10.0.0.2 racnode2 racnode2.mycompany.com
What is the best practice? Currently my company is just dropping the FQDN from the name during the install, my instinct is instead to add the FQDN to the /etc/host in the first place.
Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with either situation?
Will (using/ or not using) the FQDN cause me issues in the future?

If it's a problem, the assistent will tell you :-)
I don't think it's a problem.
Please mind that the first entry will be the name of the ip address, if it's not in DNS and a utility tries to get the name. (that's the reason 127.0.0.1 resolves to localhost.localdomain, it's the first entry in /etc/hosts)

/etc/hosts overwritten
