@marcedwards How is it being modified when /etc/hosts is owned by root? An after-install script run by the package manager?

@linuxandyarn Good question! I’m not sure. I guess at some point it asks for and gets admin privileges? It’s been a while since I installed Adobe CC, so I can’t remember.

@linuxandyarn @marcedwards At least on my machine, Adobe adds some items to /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools. These will have root access.

@linuxandyarn @marcedwards FWIW I do not see any such modifications in my /etc/hosts (macOS Sequoia)
