Sure you could do such a thing. dnsmasq would then start with an empty resolv.conf file and might survive. It might be better though to save the resolver file than recreate it. I personally don't like the concept of writing to /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf. I never understood why the standard resolver file was not used, but this is all personal preference. If dhcpcd would write to /etc/resolv.conf and dnsmasq would read from it (as it does on my installation) then all this would is moot, because /etc/resolv.conf is saved as it is the standard. cheers Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
