Error: Read-only file system (edit hosts)
This is probably a general sys-admin issue/solution, but as I have never not been able to edit a hosts file, under any operating system, I do not know how to address.
Need to redirect/block a couple of domains to localhost to prevent some apps from changing settings/features once they detect updates are available.
I attempted to edit the /etc/hosts file and /usr/etc/hosts file but both return {Read-only file system}.
I have created a hosts file with the redirects I need in /usr/local/etc/, which saved, but is not being read by the system.....
How, where, what can I do with this read-only file system to accomplish what would normally be done through simply editing the hosts file??
Thank you
