dnsmasq re-read the file and is now working. this morning: Apr 28 07:29:44 cervellone dnsmasq[3944]: reading /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf Apr 28 07:29:59 cervellone pppd[3135]: primary DNS address 80.17.209.xxx Apr 28 07:30:00 cervellone ntpdate[4828]: step time server 82.219.3.xxx offset -3.932196 sec so pppd gets dns servers 15 seconds after the first dnsmasq check. then ntpdate (ppp/ip-up.d script) adjusts time but it's a 3 seconds only shift. /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf should be newer (15-3=12 seconds newer) than the first one with no entries. I still can't get why dnsmasq is not checking the file since it's the first entry in /etc/resolv.conf and there's plenty of dns queries. thanks. bye -- Leonardo Canducci GPG Key ID: 429683DA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
