Thanks for the reply, Dave. That information will surely be useful in the future. :-D Might it be good to have a commented-out line in the generated /etc/resolv.conf stating something to that effect? I think it would be a good general rule to do this with any editable file in /etc/ (Editable Text Configuration...) that would normally be clobbered by such a thing after an edit. Any thoughts on that? --Dane -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
