Hi Qubes devs,

Can you please point out how I can make the system STOP overwriting the HOSTS FILE?

I have different domains targeted to 127.0.0.1
then when I boot, you automatically overwrite anything that is...
127.0.0.1 mynewdomain.name

to

127.0.0.1 thismachinehostname

This is really frustrating.
I'm having to now alter the entire system config to target a hosts file on my RW directory.

This is a STANDALONE guest, and thus shouldn't have anything like that happening.

you can always set the immutable attribute with: chattr +i.

This will be a guest distro specific issue and not one with Qubes.
