OK, this points to something modifying /etc/resolv.conf without doing so
by using the template system. Typical suspects would be DHCP clients or
PPP daemons. What Internet access protocol is your system configured to
use?

OK, I can answer my own question - you are using dialup.
Here's a fix:
Create
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
which is a copy of
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0. Now
create
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/\
ifcfg-ppp0/90NoResolvMods
containing:
RESOLV_MODS=no
Now do:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/resolv.conf
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
killall -HUP pppd
and tell me how you get on.
