Hi, I'm new to the world of Macs, so I wonder if you can help me.
In the past, on Windows then Linux, I've simply imported the hosts file from:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
and reimported it as it gets updated. This hosts file is used to block connections to unwelcome sites by giving them the IP address of 127.0.0.1 (my computer). It is very large, and is in Windows/Linux format.
I have read the HOWTOs for a hosts file in Mac OSX and it seems that the hosts file is in a different format, and the directions are for adding new addresses and IP addresses one by one.
Is there any way of converting a Windows/Linux hosts file with the correct format for Mac OSX, and then importing it?
