\_ SMTP quoth Subba Rao on 3/14/2003 11:46 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ \_ Hi, \_ \_ I have a DHCP connection to my ISP. My home LAN has been configured into my \_ local DNS. Each time I reboot the system, /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten \_ with the ISP's information only. How can I avoid the /etc/resolv.conf being \_ overwritten each time the system is rebooted? Depending on the dhcp client you're using, there's flags to control corruption/updating of resolv.conf. Also man chattr; seek the i flag. But the client daemon option is really the way to go. David
