Re: ~/.hosts patch

Hey folks, got an interesting patch. This adds a ~/.hosts file (personal version of /etc/hosts). It was written against 6-STABLE about a week before 6.1 was released, and has been sitting collecting dust for the last month and a half. Currently it augments /etc/hosts instead of replacing it or prepending it. Any comments? One suggestion that was made was to make it an nss module so that it could be controlled by the admin. It probably could use some cleanup as well, just putting it out here for proof of concept for now, and some direction.

Just what exactly is the point of having a user specified hosts file? Seems like a bad idea to me, in terms of security.
