 - **What `uname` says:** for an Emscripten program built with homescoop's `__syscall_uname` import (wasm-coreutils 9.12.0-7 on), the kernel answers `uname(2)`: sysname `Linux`, nodename the node name, release `6.0.0-slicc` (as `/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease`), version `#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC` (as `/proc/version`), machine `wasm32` and domainname `(none)`, so `uname -a` and musl's `gethostname()` see them. `uname -o` is coreutils' compiled-in `Emscripten`. Older Emscripten builds still report their C library's `Emscripten 4.0.23` and `emscripten`, and WASIX programs `wasmer.sh`; the kernel has nothing to answer there.
 - **Resolving it:** `/etc/hosts` maps the node name and both of those names to `127.0.1.1` (Debian's convention), and name resolution answers them, and `localhost.localdomain`, itself, as `127.0.1.1` and `::1`. So a program that looks up its own host name, as git does for every commit, never asks the [uplink](#uplink), and `127.0.1.1` is the kernel's loopback.
 - **The trade-off:** a raw connection to the real `wasmer.sh` resolves to loopback too. HTTP(S) to it still goes through the realm proxy and the transport, which resolve names themselves; `wasmer.sh` is deliberately not in `no_proxy`.
-- **A real file wins:** a root that has its own `/etc/hostname` (or `/etc/hosts`, `/etc/passwd`) keeps it, and programs read that file rather than the synthetic one. The kernel's name still drives `HOSTNAME` and name resolution.
+- **A real file wins:** a root that has its own `/etc/hostname` (or `/etc/hosts`, `/etc/passwd`) keeps it, and programs read that file rather than the synthetic one. The kernel's name still drives `HOSTNAME` and name resolution. A program that opens one of these synthetic files for writing (as root, since `/etc` is root's) gets a real one first: a root-owned `0644` copy of the defaults. So `echo '10.0.0.9 db' >> /etc/hosts` keeps `localhost` and the other default entries, `>` replaces them as on Linux, and `rm` returns to the synthetic file. The copy is `0644` whatever the umask. Programs that read `/etc/hosts` themselves (WASIX/musl ones, such as python's `socket.gethostbyname`) resolve an added name. The kernel's own resolver, which Emscripten programs, `ctx.net` and HTTP through the transport use, doesn't read the file yet ([#898](https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/slicc-kernel/issues/898)).
