watch out for spaces!
/etc/hosts is the path to a file and must not contain spaces! always be very, very careful in a root shell!

to check whether you have successfully entered it, you can view the file contents by
Code:
cat /etc/hosts
it should look like this:
Code:
subcoren900:~# cat /etc/hosts 
127.0.0.1 subcoren900 localhost
