Hi,

Hopefully I'm doing something silly here.

I want to add a couple of entries into my /etc/hosts file in a specific VM.
The instructions here are nice and
clear: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/config-files/ except... that doesn't
work.

I've added the following to my /rw/config/rc.local :
echo '127.0.0.1 example.com' >> /etc/hosts
And after a VM restart my /etc/hosts is unchanged.

Might have to add "sudo" in front of that echo. Also, double-check that rc.local is set as executable and in proper script format. Does it work if you run it yourself from the command line?

Also, as an aside, is it odd that rc.local is owned by root, if it's
something that's expected to be changed per-VM?

No, because it's only the root account that belongs to the VM.
