Which symlink did you remove? /etc/resolv.conf should be a symlink to $PREFIX/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf otherwise it won't actually work as resolvconf never updates the real /etc/resolv.conf $PREFIX/etc/resolvconf/run should be a symlink to /var/run/resolvconf so that all prior information collected is cleaned when the system boots. > Also, if you want to be the maintainer I can change it to your address > if I send a PR for it. No, not really. I spent enough time maintaining my software :) On another note, what is the preferred means of getting something into ports? I also have dhcpcd [1] and a ports Makefile for it (dhcpcd is a DHCP client) Thanks Roy PS - not currently subscribed to ports@ - should I be for this discussion? [1] http://dhcpcd.berlios.de/
