Chris,
I see where that's coming from! If DDHOST is defined, the
/etc/init.d/network script will add it to /etc/hosts as follows:
if [ -n "$DDHOST" ]; then
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost
$HOSTIP $HOSTNAME.$DOMAIN $HOSTNAME
$INTIP $DDHOST" > /tmp/etc/hosts
else
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost
$HOSTIP $HOSTNAME.$DOMAIN $HOSTNAME" > /tmp/etc/hosts
fi
In most cases, this is desired. You can override this as Tom indicated
by creating a file /mnt/kd/hosts, but then you are responsible for
updating it as the init script will use that file rather than
dynamically creating one with the values from STATHOSTS etc.
