That's the thing: if you use `home.arpa` for your home network, suddenly
it's exposed to non-techies, like your friends and family, contrary to
things like `in-addr.arpa`.

I tried to change just this machine to see how its done, and managed
to get all the right answers, which did not affect my local network
since I generally use the alias name for an ssh or sshfs login, but on
a reboot its all gone. So how the heck do we do that so it survives a
reboot?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
/etc/hosts
Its in there, for this machine, but on a reboot, the domainname reverts
to "none" Apparently I didn't use the approved systemd way to change it.
from a cat of /etc/hosts:
192.168.71.3 coyote.home.arpa coyote
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
