I don't that is true. There is a copy of resolv.conf as well as other network related files in a directory in the /etc/sysconfig directory true is a directory called defaults. As soon as I put my corrections to resolv.conf in the file there I had no more troubles with the /etc/resolv.conf changing after a reboot. -- ======================================================================= The language provides a programmer with a set of conceptual tools; if these are inadequate for the task, they will simply be ignored.
