Till,

Installed this code on my system; won't have access to the remote machine where
I found this problem for several days yet.

In reading your changes, I'm still left with a question:  why should cups even
have code to modify /etc/hosts...?  

Wouldn't it be a better approach to have a central location for doing this, with
logging to /var/log...?  This way, there'd be only one place to fix it, and
having such changes logged would help reduce the confusion that can occur when
the "system" makes changes.  Finding such covert changes is not always obvious
and IMHO, is really what we used to call "spaghetti code"...  no?

Thanks,
Pierre
