My latest hack should avoid offending people that way, though I suppose it might offend ISC. ;-) > I _do_ think that dhclient-script needs to be taught a way to prevent > the spamming of /etc/resolv.conf, but I'm pretty sure that's not going > to solve _this_ problem. :-) With my rc.conf variable lookup function this should be pretty simple. I just looked at the script again and noticed that what's in there now is quite bogus. The function for creating resolv.conf files is never used and resolv.conf files are created two slightly different ways. If the function were used all the time the simple solution would be to check for something like "dhcp_update_resolv" not being set to no before spamming the file. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
