Not mandatory. If you put them there, then you'll be able to access them easily from the oxygen console. You may end up doing this more than once: ping luke But if luke is not in your /etc/hosts, then you'll have to type: ping luke.mylongassdomainname.net Heh. The minimum you want in your /etc/hosts is something like what I do for my home setup: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.2.3.254 hub.schalit.net hub 63.194.213.179 adsl-63-194-213-179.sfnc21.pacbell.net 10.2.3.1 luke.schalit.net luke 10.2.3.2 yoda.schalit.net yoda ftp web ntp1 10.2.3.3 xena.schalit.net xena 10.2.3.4 leia.schalit.net leia But you'd only need the first three lines, adjusted for your setup. Notice I left out the hostname alias for my external ip. Aliases are not mandatory. It's debateable whether anything besides the first line is mandatory, but three lines is the best minimum.
