OK. There's a proper explanation in there, somewhere, I'm sure. Perhaps if the english wasn't so messed up ...
I'm guessing you're trying to say that the libnss_dns library will fall back to some default config if it fails to find a resolv.conf file? That's pretty interesting if that's the case. Should probably browse the glibc source code to see what's going on. Maybe another day; I'm tired, and it's been a long day for me. dave.k ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
