Again. There are precisely two places that deal with resolv.conf: 1) Your dhcpcd that periodically renews leases. Yes, it's stupid. As I told before, I use -R command line option to prevent dhcpcd from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf 2) pppd's ip-up and ip-down *or* pppd itself. See "usepeerdns" options of pppd and distro-specific script variables. > Shachar -- Mix Sella (well, not really but hey) This mail was checked for viruses by Romat email server ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
