resolv.conf getting rewritten at system startup
Hi all, I am running FBSD 6.0-RELEASE I use DHCP to configure my network interface. At startup my resolv.conf is overwritten, setting my nameserver to the address of the router running DHCP. I tried commenting out almost all of the rc.d/resolv startup script but to no avail. I read the man page for dhcp-options and then proceeded to add option domain-name-servers a.b.c.d This was also of no help. I then remembered something about FBSD 6 no longer using ISC dhcp client. I am running BIND 9.3.1 with internal and external views of my namespace set-up so it is imperative that I be able to tell hosts on the internal network which name server to use. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help. Thanks in advance, Duane P.S. Is there a man page for the dhcp client FBSD 6 is using (what is FBSD 6 using)? -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to use supersede like this:
interface ath0 {
supersede domain-name yourdomain.com;
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
See man dhclient.conf for more options.

You can change things by configuring dhclient editing /etc/dhclient.conf see dhclient.conf(5) and dhcp-options(5) Cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: www.locolomo.org S/MIME Certificate: www.daemonsecurity.com/ca/8D03551FFCE04F06.crt Subject ID: 9E:AA:18:E6:94:7A:91:44:0A:E4:DD:87:73:7F:4E:82:E7:08:9C:72 Fingerprint: 5B:D5:1E:3E:47:E7:EC:1C:4C:C8:3A:19:CC:AE:14:F5:DF:18:0F:B9 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help. Read the manpage for dhclient.conf(5) and look at the 'supersede' or 'prepend' directives. E.g. If you always want to use a nameserver with IP 12.34.56.78 you would put the line supersede domain-name-servers 12.34.56.78; in /etc/dhclient.conf Thanks in advance, Duane P.S. Is there a man page for the dhcp client FBSD 6 is using (what is FBSD 6 using)? 'man dhclient' should work fine. FBSD 6 uses the OpenBSD dhclient (which I believe derive from an older version of the ISC one.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.
