          | Has anyone here used /etc/hosts to block bad websites and Web objects? Details: 
 Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File
 http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
 
 ...and how to use that method with *nix:
 
 Hosts File for Linux or Unix
 http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/hostsforlinux.html
 
 Windows's default hosts file has only one line:
 
 Code: 
127.0.0.1   localhost
 Kanotix's hosts says:
 
 Code: 
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   [user's system name is added here]
 
 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
 # (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
 
 ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
 fe00::0 ip6-localnet
 ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
 ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
 ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
 ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
 Obviously the first two entries are necessary---but will the stuff after the 2nd entry interfere with any addresses that are added? (On a standalone system, maybe the entries after the 2nd one aren't needed?)
 
 Thanks, Andy

          | I use the hosts file to block unwanted addresses since I use linux. I don't know what's the use of those ipv6 entries, I just appended a "Junk" section after that part, like this: 
 ##JUNK##
 0.0.0.0 ad.doubleclick.net
 0.0.0.0 us.a1.yimg.com
 ...
