I tried that, Mark.  And it was wiped before I could apply the chattr +i.  
Perhaps 10 seconds elapsed time.


It is/was a softlink on wheezy, but on raspi-jessie its a real file that 
is generated by resolveconfig.

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/linuxcnc/configs/sheldon-lathe# 
ls -la /etc/resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 86 Sep 23 00:08 /etc/resolv.conf

That isn't a link.  And I didn't remove the link, I edited the real file. 
Then, not knowing what the armhf debian-jessie uses for a 
network-manager clone, I just brute forced the retention of the settings 
with a chattr +i on both that, and /etc/network/interfaces.  I like 
stuff that Just Works(TM) and it works without generation of any 
muttering in the logs.  Its something I have been doing since 
network-destroyer arrived on the scene around a decade ago. Back then it 
had so many dependencies you couldn't remove it, but a/o wheezy you can 
remove it without eviscerating the system, so most of my wheezy machines 
have had it removed.

Thanks Mark.  I hope you had a nice Christmas.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
