Are you running a distribution that uses Network Manager? That could
be
the culprit.
well its CentOS-5.2
# rpm -qf /etc/resolv.conf.save
file /etc/resolv.conf.save is not owned by any package
its not 'owned' by a package and neither is resolv.conf but i would not
really expect it to be
i will try to remove network manager at install time to see if that has
any impact
