First up disable a package called "tmdns" for some reason it's enabled by default.. don't actually remove the package, as every time you configure your network with drakconf, drakconf will reinstall the package..
The commands to disable it.. "service tmdns stop" "chkconfig --del tndns" Next edit a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and place in there PEERDNS=no for more help to know what you can place in those ifcfg files.. have a look at the man file for ifcfg.. "man ifcfg" I hope this is a help Cheers Mark On Tue, 2003-09-23 at 10:17, Graeme J Hosking wrote: > Hi, > > I wonder if someone can tell me how to prevent the contents of my > /etc/resolv.conf from being re-written every time my NIC is brought > up?
