The downer is, that with several DCD's to maintain, /etc/dhclient.conf must be hard-coded to accommodate this change ;< The real puzzler is that, after reboot, the system is *correct* -- only sometime later, something changes and the system is no longer correct! In fact, since the transition from @home to attbi.com, I had *no* problems until this last week. I am not yet sure that this is the cause, that only at lease expiry and re-negotiation does dhclient overwrite /etc/resolv.conf -- who knew? Thank you, for these pointers! Even though this overwriting doesn't make any sense to me, that it is known to others and a workaround is available is encouraging . . . -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
