I think for a desktop NM is the right tool for most users.

Yes true, But I would assume that the initial question points to the real problem here. I assume you have some special requirments for your DNS resolver and you just put specific dns resolver in your /etc/resolcv.conf There might be better ways with NM to manually specify your dns server. Each network connection stanza can be individually configured based on your location requirements. I would look into the documentation to solve the issue the "NM way" and not come up with some hack and then fight the NM. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
