Hi;
I recently changed my stations to NOT use dhcp (as well as the Linksys
router) and everything is fine and dandy.
EXCEPT, that upon every re-boot, the etc/resolv.conf which has my isp's
dns's, gets overwritten with a blank file, and my web programs cease to
operate. The resolv.conf sitting in etc/sysconfig/networking.... is ok,
and I just copy it over to etc/resolv.conf.
Which program is doing this, and how do I tell it to stop.
Thank you;

ps. While I was using dhcp, the router was also supplying the
nameservers, so I didn't need /etc/resolv.conf.
You o need /etc/resolv.conf, DHCP or not. That's what the resolver
library looks at to find the appropriate DNS services. Without it,
you only have the items in /etc/hosts.
You could chattr the file to immutable, and this should cause some sort of
errer message.
The way to prevent DHCP from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf is to set
"PEERDNS=no" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx (see the
stuff around line 288 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup).
