Quoting Hendrik Boom (hend...@topoi.pooq.com): > Don't several system components, such as dhcp clients, happily rewrite > resolve.conf, wiping out anything the sysadmin may have set up.
This well-known problem also has a somewhat known solution, a piece of software called resolvconf . (Note to the assembled: When naming a piece of software, unless your specific aim is for it to remain obscure, make sure you choose a name people will be able to find easily using Web search engines.) FreeBSD has an implementation of resolvconf ('openresolv') by Roy Marples, and Debian has one by Thomas Hood. https://alioth.debian.org/projects/resolvconf http://roy.marples.name/projects/openresolv/index Essentially, resolvconf _manages_ /etc/resolv.conf via templating. There is also the impatient-caveman-sysadmin solution (not necessarily recommended, but it does work!). # vi /etc/resolv.conf #Set it the way you want it. # chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf #And _stay_ that way, dammit. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
