Any return after this point must be preceded by
code that frees "tmp".  Otherwise it is a leak.

I mentioned this already.
You must detect write failure here.

Failure to remove this temporary file might deserve a warning.
No big deal either way.

I think saying "failed to..." is slightly clearer than "cannot...".

Would a caller ever want to know if this function fails?
If so, don't ignore hostsfileAdd failure.
That would be more consistent with how the following functions work, too.

BTW, shouldn't hostsfileAdd be spelled hostsFileAdd (with a capital "F")?
