I have been out of action with linux for about 3 months now am back but i had a weird problem which i dont know how many other people have had this i could check my email or news and of course it sounds like a resolv.conf problem and it turns out it was but i had the right settings i couldnt figure where i was going wrong i mean i have another linux box on the network working and this one wasnt it wa annoying me to hell.. 3 months without my main linux box email or news . I went to extent of reinstalling operating systems and older/newer ones of slackware thinking it might fix the problem but to no avail. It turns out one day as i was implementing ssh and fixing a masq problem with network that mabe its slim chance but it could be . Once before i had a program trying to access this files settings i think it was licq anyway the file had right settings but licq couldnt see them so i deltted the file added same settings again and it worked. Well i deleted my resolv.conf put same settings and what do u know it fixed the problem 3 months without mail and all it was was a fucked file. ? Now my question is how does that happen the contents of the text files was fine but somehow it become screwed ?? has anyone else had this same problem -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
