I want to automate a name resolution for VMware systems users run with host-only networking. VMware has it's own DHCP server internally for this. The best solution would be to have the guest OS boot and request an IP then write that to a plain text file in the users home directory using the VM share directory feature. I tried to store the IP in a file called .hosts file in the users home directory but I have never see this done before and I tried it and could not get any programs to honor the file.
Is there a userspace name resolution solution that does not involve using a sudo script to modify the /etc/hosts file? -- http://www.Radados.org
