RE: resolv.conf.save ??

[Joseph Boyer Jr.]

They are a few things that change the /etc/resolv.conf

        1. network manager. -- you should not be installing this on severs or least turn
the service off
        2. if you are using dhcp, your dhcp server can configure you /etc/resolv.conf i.e.
does your /etc/dhcp.conf have the following:
                Option domain-name "xxx"
                Option domin-name servers xxxx, xxxxx
        3. avahi-dnsd - will rewrite your /etc/resolv.conf. you can turn avahi off unless
you need to talk to mac bonjour servers

Any hoo... I add a line to /etc/rc.local to rewrite my /etc/resolv.conf each time the
machine boots, thus ensuring that my boxes always have the proper resolver configuration.

Subject: resolv.conf.save ??

what creates this file as i am trying to manipulate my resolv.conf with
a snippet but after a while looking into why it seemed to not be working
it seems that changes get wiped out by whatever creates resolv.conf.save -

I am doing manipulation at the very end of the ks post so i would have
thought all cobbler internal stuff would have finished by then ?

thanks
