and when I couldn't ping it, I assumed none of the local stuff worked.
Checking that on some of my other machines disclosed that something
besides me is mucking with the /etc/hosts on some, but not all, of the
other machines. And its something I'll have to fix from the machines
own keyboard because my /sshnet/localname network doesn't allow root
logins. The /etc/hosts file on go704 has been stripped to just itself!
Fixed and chattr +i added to it now.
So you've finally figured out that what you told us is wrong, but you're
doubling down on baroque workarounds that will make it even harder
to figure out what's actually happening. And presumably, you'll be
loudly announcing to other users that the only solution is to do
ridiculous things like chattr +i random files, confusing future users
who find this stuff via google and don't realize that you only got
halfway to figuring out what was going on before announcing what the
"proper" fix was. That's the frustrating part: you can do whatever you
want with your own system and it doesn't really matter to anyone else,
but we're going to keep reading wrong information proclaimed loudly and
often--which does potentially affect others.
And I'm pretty sure I put it in there correctly when I installed
armbian on it.
Occam suggests otherwise.
