On a 3.3-RELEASE box, not realizing at first that I didn't need an entry for the local nameserver, I had it's IP in as the first line in resolv.conf, followed by two more nameservers on the next two lines. Something in the daily scripts seemed to eliminate the first line, containing the local nameserver. I say this because the file date was 1:59am, the time that periodic/daily runs. I put it back every day, and the next day, it was gone again. I hunted quite a while in the scripts, but couldn't figure out what was doing this? Just for the sake of my curiosity, what was modifiying resolv.conf? Is this a security feature?
