When configuring sendmail I discovered that "pump" (Red Hat's own version
of dhcpcd) has a habit of rebuilding /etc/resolv.conf when a lease
changes. This means that my /etc/resolv.conf is blown away by pump and all
my resolver information for my inside network goes bye-bye.
I've asked for a switch in "pump" to permit the /etc/resolv.conf to be left
alone. The damn thing runs at root, so I'm not sure that changing the
permissions to read-only will help (but I'll try it for grins).
Looking at dhcpcd, it has the same problem...
