Hi,
I can't find a /etc/hosts file in the Debian distribution. When I go
dpkg --search etc/hosts
it doesn't find it. Does Debian have this file?
The lack of it has cause problems for a friend. He wrote:

He has managed to fix the problem with a hosts file. So I am
wondering why Debian doesn't install a hosts file as part of the network
setup. Anyone know?
Thanks,
Mark.
