Try removing the line altogether.
Yes, if I delete that line then it works fine. Upon rebooting I see that /etc/resolv.conf which is a sym link to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf gets updated: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file /etc/resolv.conf;ls -lt /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf: symbolic link to `ppp/resolv.conf' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55 Aug 16 15:30 /etc/ppp/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 4 09:26 /etc/resolv.conf -> ppp/resolv.conf which I think is something/where/how related to the old speedtouch scripts I ran to use the Speedtouch USB modem. I'll investigate. thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
