  1. Have you read  http://www.funtoo.org/X_Window_System?

     

    I'm not sure this will help; but this is what I have in /etc/X11 directory.

    $ ls -1R /etc/X11/
    /etc/X11/:
    Sessions
    chooser.sh
    startDM.sh
    xdm
    xinit
    xsm
    
    /etc/X11/Sessions:
    Gnome
    Xsession
    
    /etc/X11/xdm:
    Xaccess
    Xresources
    Xservers
    xdm-config
    
    /etc/X11/xinit:
    xinitrc
    xinitrc.d
    xinput.d
    xserverrc
    
    /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d:
    00-xhost
    10-user-dirs-update-gnome
    15-xdg-data-gnome
    40-libcanberra-gtk-module
    49-keychain
    50-ssh-agent
    80-dbus
    90-consolekit
    
    /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d:
    ibus.conf
    
    /etc/X11/xsm:
    system.xsm
    
    
  2. The plot thickens.

    +# Add aliases for other hosts to /etc/hosts directly. The networking scripts
    +# automatically generate the localhost lines only.
    

    While updating my config files after an update I came across this addition to the /etc/conf.d/hostname file.  It looks like I'm supposed to put aliases for other hosts in /etc/hosts directly.  I look forward to the day my hosts don't have to live in fear of being overwritten.

  3. I have been using /etc/hosts to map ip addresses to aliases for as long as I can remember; but lately I've noticed my file has been overwritten.  Also I noticed the following:

    # Local Host Database
    #
    # This AUTOMATICALLY-GENERATED file describes a number of aliases-to-address
    # mappings for the local hosts that share this file.
    #
    # In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may not be
    # consulted at all; see /etc/host.conf for the resolution order.
    #
    # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND; YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
    #
    # Define alias-to-address mappings in /etc/conf.d/hostname
    
    

    I've relied on  my hosts file heavy, is there a preferred way to to match ip addresses with names similar to using the hosts file?
