[solved] host file not accepted

Hello,
I edited the 003-settings.xzm file, meaning I created the hosts file within /etc (which doesn't exist yet).
This is needed because I want to prevent users from accessing certain URL.
After that I ran the make_iso.sh file and tested the new ISO file within VirtualBox.
Unfortunately, the hosts-file doesn't seem to have been implemented.
I tried to SSH but the connection was refused.
So what did I miss? My purpose is to block certain URL, and I thought that the easiest way would be by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 within the hosts-file.
Thank you very much.
