I do not understand...

a) where all these strange idea on /etc/hosts come out? I can not
imagine a system that needs to reboot just to add an entry to one of
its databases. /etc/hosts is read anytime you use it:

(0)pern:~/tmp% strace telnet goofy |& grep open | grep host
open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 3

b) in which way is this related to kernel development?
