Usage ===== 1) Build and install nss-block 2) Add "block" to /etc/nsswitch.conf, under "hosts" 3) Create /etc/hosts.blacklist and put each domain name you wish to block in a separate line Credits and Legal Information ============================= nss-block is free and unencumbered software released under the terms of the MIT license; see COPYING for the license text.
