'host' isn't suitable for testing this, because it never looks at the
/etc/hosts file:

Re: [qubes-users] Modifying /etc/hosts in dispVM

2023-04-19 Thread john.e...@gmail.com
Thanks, unman, but it's not working for me. More precisely, your suggestion 
above worked fine. The line "10.1.1.1 myhost.example.com" is appended to 
/etc/hosts.  But when I open a disposable terminal and type 'host 
myhost.example.com', I get the DNS address, not 10.1.1.1.

What am I doing wrong?

It's a disposable - you need to set the change in the disposable
template.
Add this to /rw/config/rc.local in the disposable template:
echo "10.1.1.1   myhost.example.com" >> /etc/hosts

That will take effect in the disposable template, and in every
disposable that uses it.

I use this often because I block DNS for many qubes, provide hosts
entries, and whitelist those IPs.

[qubes-users] Modifying /etc/hosts in dispVM

2023-04-19 Thread john.e...@gmail.com
I haven't been able to figure out how I can modify /etc/hosts in a dispVM 
so that my entry (such as 10.1.1.1   myhost.example.commyhost) will be 
used instead of DNS.

I'm trying to direct my traffic to a different host than the one listed in 
DNS.

Anyone know an easy fix to this?  Thanks.
