Well, not quite. if you know *ix at all[0]: # sed -i 's/^nameserver/#nameserver/' /etc/resolv.conf To disable system DNS (but not /etc/hosts) entirely: # cp /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf-ORIGINAL # sed -i 's/dns//g' /etc/nsswitch.conf > Comparison with (for example) NTP defaulting to using pool.ntp.org by > default are disingenuous.

Unlike covert distro-installer additions to /etc/resolv.conf, NTP involves running a network daemon.
