If you are always using DHCP, then resolv.conf.save has no meaning for you. For you, your resolv.conf will always be generated each time you "dhcp". To be more clear, the .save version from location 1 most likely will be of zero value at location 2 or 3. So it shouldn't matter to you if one is even saved. It does for folks, such as myself, who have a meaningful resolv.conf before running dhclient at some site other than their usual "home". I hope that makes sense. Best, --patrick
