/etc/hosts file overwitten with old values on ReadyNAS 1500

You could get a script to populate this file at the appropriate point in the boot process.

Why do you need a custom /etc/hosts file?

We are using rsh from an unix server, to call to the NAS to call some files, however, each time we reboot NAS, the UNIX host dissapeared on /etc/hosts file, so rsh give me errors and on syslog file on NAS system records "system didn't recognice host". When we modify /etc/hosts file inserting the UNIX host, it works again.

Some idea about the script you mentioned? Where can I configure to launch at boot time?

Thanks in advance.

One way would be to do it like how an add-on does it.

Another way would be to have a script in one of the /etc/rc*.d folders, I think.

You would need to give it the appropriate ownership, permissions and get it to start at the appropriate point in the boot process.
