Question User hosts file.

I'm a user on a networked Mandriva system and was wondering whether it was possible to have a hosts file specific to me, separate to the one in the /etc folder (to which I don't have the permissions to edit). Thanks.

No, there is only one /etc/hosts file on the system, and you can`t have separate hosts files for users.
