Are you using DHCP? dhcp_client writes the /etc/resolv.conf when it gets a lease from the dhcp_server. /etc/dhclient.conf may be configured to prepend or append additional domains to /etc/resolv.conf. See dhclient.conf (5). Regards, Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D. Hilliard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |_) (_) |_) 1294 S.W.
