Hi,
I have installed linux on many computers including both redhat & debian.
Sometimes, the dns works ok and sometimes it does not. On my debian box, I
didn't
do anything special, after installing bind and dns is working. But on some
other computers, the dns just won't work without a resolv.conf file in place.
Could someone please clarify my understanding? The man pages stated that
"on a normal configured system, you don't need this file". So what is a
normal configured system??
Also, in Windoze, I don't need to put in the dns search entries. But in
linux,
I must put them in resolv.conf. Why?
In case I must need a resolv.conf, and my isp doesn't even need one, what
number
should I put under nameserver, search &domain??
Thanks
