Hi, I feel imbecilic, because this is not making sense to me.
Static ip, resolvconf installed, I even went so far as to purge
uninstall dhcp3-client, and yet:
on each reboot, resolv.conf comes up empty (no nameservers).
SSH is working.
Evironment:
Ubuntu 10.04 server, running in a vmware instance provided to me
minimal install
reslvconf installed
dhcp3-client purged
Ok on reboot (and ssh in), this is what I get:
~# ifconfig

And the frustrating thing is it all is fine if I
/etc/init.d/networking restart, or as follows:
~# ifdown eth0; ifup eth0; cat /etc/resolv.conf
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 1459

Any ideas what the firetruck I'm missing? Is it some new init magic
that I'm not familiar with?
TIA
