Reboot weirdness on Debian etch

[happyfunball]

I'm noticing some strange behavior in my Debian server on reboot.

The /etc/motd and /etc/hosts file is being reset after every reboot. This is a bit confusing for my server and very confusing for me :) .

I could write a script to rewrite these files after reboot, but I'd really like to know why its happening.

managing these files in the VE context is part of the VZ framework. If you need to customize them, you should populate them using a script called in rc.local or any boot script.

also resolv.conf

Good enough solution. Thanks for the info.
