Private Hosts files being overwritten with update on V4

Hi all, not sure if this is just a V4 Beta issue, but when I enter a private P25 reflector into my /usr/local/etc/P25HostsLocal.txt file, I am finding that the next day after an update it has been overwritten with the default one. As I said, I'm not sure if this is just because it is the Beta V4 version I am using or this is happening on the V3 as well ??
Anyone else having this issue ??
Regards

Thanks for the reply and yes I actually do now remember that is what should be done. It has been a very long time since I have made any changes to any Hosts Files and far too long for my aging brain to remember.
Yes I have looked at the info on Toshen's site and it is a great site.
Again thanks
Regards

Has this ever been addressed? It's now 4 years in the future and still happening. Should I create a differently named file and point to that in the MMDVMHosts?

The post is dated 2020, quite a lots changed since then.
The whole point of pistar is it maintains ur installation, including keeping hosts up to date. So the entries in /usr.. get overwritten each night with any updates needed.
This was addressed yrs back. you can add private reflector entries in the host files in /root and not by editing those in /usr/... (address shown above)
if you read Ians #2 post youll notice Theres a missing reply in the thread which answered this back then.
( when you leave and delete ur account you get an option to delete all entries on the forum, this is the result when you choose to delete all apon leaving.
