~/Src/newmodel  master $ more /etc/hosts
##
# Host Database

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.

127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost 
fe80::1%lo0     localhost

but note that Apple Mac OS doesn’t (supposedly) use this file except at startup 
and somehow sets the hostname based on the network or lack of it.
