Yes, in fact I know that pppd (if I use 'usepeerdns') change /etc/resolv.conf, but also dhcp-client change it, and I don't know if other packages do so. But is correct that an application change /etc/resolv.conf even if the administrator write it entirely by hand? How can I prevent it? ciao Michele
