Well the OP can fix that. First, edit resolv.conf to look the way you want it to. Then: r...@linux# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf If I follow the thread correctly the OP said that he uninstalled resolvconf. After he makes /etc/resolv.conf immutable, whatever else wants to change resolv.conf and finds out that it can't will probably show up in the eventlog complaining. Then the OP can find and either configure or get rid of the offending app. James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
