Hi, I have a script which downloads a hostfile containing thousands of known bad hosts and appends its to /etc/hosts as follows:
Now this works quite well, however I have noticed that Mac OSX 10.6.7 picks a host at random from the list to use in such tools as lsof and netstat, which is really quite wierd:
in this example tamtam.tomshw.it is one of the many bad hosts mapped to 127.0.0.1.
So coming to the point, is it possible to get Mac OSX to respect and use the first entry in the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Code:
# Sorry but in addition to serving ads BrightCove frequently
# delvers content (mostly video). It is your choice!
