Is there any file functioning like /etc/hosts file, but you can put it under your home directory.
I have serveral machines without domainname, and I hate to type the IP addresses everytime when I need to access them. Unfortunately, I have no priviledge to edit /etc/hosts file.
Thank you! |

I'm not aware of any such file, but you could probably get by with a few scripts or shell variables. For example, in ~/.bashrc, you could add some variables like this: | Code: | BOX1=192.168.1.37
BOX2=192.168.1.38 |
Then, you could use commands like this: | Code: | ping $BOX1
ping $BOX2 |
Depending on the command, a script or alias may be more useful.
