ETC host Internet addresses

Ideally, since the internet addresses of the LAN's hosts are subject to change as Internet and UCI's own networks develop, those addresses would not be not listed here, nor on the PC's themselves, but obtained from a network server by the RARP protocol. Note the bug in the RARP protocol, however, which bars this version from actually doing so.

They can be obtained by running ypmatch <pc-name> hosts either in UNIX or on a PC booted to PC-NSF. (A previous arrangement whereby the UNIX file /etc/hosts kept them is now obsolete.)
