I didn't say _/etc/resolvconf_ (which is a directory). I said _/etc/resolv.conf_ (which is a regular file). /etc/resolv.conf is an ancient, primordial Unix feature, from the earliest days of TCP/IP, probably invented about a day or so after someone thought of the concept of DNS. /etc/resolvconf is a directory containing configuration files for a network-management framework called Resolvconf, so called because it's a set of tools for managing the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file. (The naming of Resolvconf is at best unfortunate, as the namespace collision causes all sorts of problems.) Anyway, pretty much every TCP/IP-enabled Unix host has always had /etc/resolv.conf, along with /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf. Those three IIRC are the configuration files for the built-in system DNS resolver facility built into glibc. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
