Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with resolv.conf

Hi everyone,

If you don't want dhcpcd to overwrite your resolv.conf
then tell it not to configure the DNS.

The configuration can be made through your /etc/conf.d/net file :

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"


That's the "nodns" which take care of not touching your resolv.conf
file.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day, and Happy New year everyone ;)
Red.
