It does. Simply: cat - <<EOF > /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/disablemakeresolvconf make_resolv_conf() { : ; } EOF as is documented in dhclient-script(8): When it starts, the client script first defines a shell function, make_resolv_conf , which is later used to create the /etc/resolv.conf file. To override the default behaviour, redefine this function in the enter hook script. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com An elephant: A mouse built to government specifications. -- Robert Heinlein _Time Enough For Love_ p244
