127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
put like
your.ip.adress psychobaby.psychobaby.com psychobaby
below it.. and you can reference your machine as pyschobaby
you will need to setup a script in ip.up or whatever the script is to add
your current ip# to the file, there are some readmes around on how to do
this.. can't find on right now tho.
