When has the /etc/hosts file ever given anything an IP address?
You are correct, and I am completely wrong. A static address for the computer
would be set by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 (or
whatever) or using the network config gui to do the same thing.
Huh?
From man hosts:
SYNOPSIS
/etc/hosts
For each host a single line should be present
with the following information:
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]
In modern systems, even though the host table has been superseded by
DNS, it is still widely used for:
bootstrapping
Most systems have a small host table containing the name and ad-
dress information for important hosts on the local network.
This is useful when DNS is not running, for example during sys-
tem bootup.
