I guessed you were doing something like that. I have made changes to dhcpcd.lrp to generate /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf from the default configuration.
My thinking behind a different name (like /etc/dnsmasq.resolv.conf) was that /etc/dnsmasq.conf could then reference this as standard using "resolv-file" but we could have different packages creating /etc/dnsmasq.resolv.conf as required - dhcpcd, ppp etc. dMb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
