I compiled the latest CVS of NetworkManager "--without-named" The good news is that it no longer (seemingly) rewrites resolv.conf. The bad news is that, as soon as I started the service, eth0 was deactivated and disconnected and that was all that happened. Moreover, NMInfo refused to activate. YMMV (hopefully). ________________________________________________________________________ Total Quality Management - A Commitment to Excellence http://www.TQMcube.com
