Hello, Guix Help! I've added a line in /etc/hosts
5.5.5.5 site.com

But site.com points on its usual ip. Restart wpa_supplicant and restart pc did not help.
How to work with hosts on GuixSD?

There are plenty of reasonable causes for this behaviour, and you can
set your hosts file in the system configuration. However the most simple
solution is chattr. Like so:

1. make your changes to /etc/hosts
2. run (as root) `chattr +i /etc/hosts`

Now the other programs will not be able to edit the file (and neither
will you be able to.)

To make it writable again run `chattr -i /etc/hosts`

Hope this helps!

You can specify your hosts file in your operating system configuration
file ('config.scm'):

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/operating_002dsystem-Reference.html#index-hosts-file

You can maintain your hosts file "by hand" in, for example,
/etc/my-hosts and refer to it from config.scm like this (untested):

------
  (hosts-file (local-file "/etc/my-hosts"))
------
