Extract of FHS : (1) The /etc hierarchy contains configuration files. A "configuration file" is a local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and cannot be an executable binary. [4] (2) /var contains variable data files. This includes spool directories and files, administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary files. (3) /var/run Data relevant to running processes... So the historic file /etc/ppp/resolv.conf is not FHS compliant. I don't know if it is a patch of Fedora or a newer version. But we can imagine that all distributions follow this way... mcoolive.
