RE: Network gurus

Well, the ones in resolv.conf.d are what get copied to resolv.conf during startup.

To prove that, change resolv.conf to say one thing, and change the base (or head, or tail, whichever it is that has the ‘do not edit’ message) to say something else, and reboot.

The changes you made to base should show up in resolv.conf, and whatever you put into resolv.conf should be gone without a trace ;-)

I’m using this on one of my computers to make sure that resolv.conf gets set right…

(None of what I say on PLUG list is official SmartH anything, ever. In case you were confused ;-)

I looked into the file (as suggested) and it says not to edit manually.

On my Linux boxes (Linux Mint), there is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d dir which has 3 files: base, head, tail.

Put ‘nameserver 8.8.8.8’ into base (or tail) and it should always get added to resolv.conf every reboot. (You might look at all 3 files, my favourite trick for this is:

more /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*|less

and see what’s in them before you start.)
