Create it :-)

Default content is here:

Code:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1	localhost

Create it using text editor, save without extension to LEOPARD/etc
Note: 'etc' folder is hidden and located in system drive root.
