This isn't unique to Apple, or any of the other UNIX-y derivatives out there. - There's no One True API to manage resolv.conf, or any other the files used by resolv() upon initialization. - Most applications/daemons don't poll to see if any of resolv()'s initialization files have to changed, and hence fail to call res_init(). -- Brian Reichert <[email protected]> 55 Crystal Ave. #286 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1725 USA BSD admin/developer at large _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
