Yes, I am--or at least I think so; the daemon is running, and it's configured according the the Chapt 3 example. The /etc/resolv.conf file says it's written by /etc/dhclient-script, so I disabled that file, adjusted the resolv and tried again. No effect. Also, during reboot, when dhcpd started up, I got the error message "Not configured to listen on any interface. Wrote 5 new leases." When the reboot completed, I had no Internet connection whatsoever. I had to re-enable dhclient-script and reboot.

So I remain with the problems that I have no DNS resolution capability, and I cannot edit, with permanence, /etc/resolv.conf. I'd probably be satisfied with the latter if I could get DNS to work.

Thanks

Are you using dhcp to get an IP address on that server?
Every time dhcpcd gets an IP address it overwrites the resolv.conf. So I think that's why it's changing every time you reboot. dhcpcd can be run with the -R option to prevent it from overwriting resolv.conf (check out the dhcpcd man page). I'm not sure where you'd specify that as i don't use FC. But it's probably easier to just give that machine a static IP.

One more thing I forgot to mention. The chapter calls for editing /etc/resolv.conf, but in my case it won't stay edited--it keeps getting set back to an original form (for searching my ISP) on every reboot.

Thanks again.

I'm running Samba v 3.0.14a on an FC3 machine. I've got two basic problems: one centers on my DNS set up and the other is an authenticated logon problem. With /etc/nsswitch.conf set to "hosts: dns," I cannot ping my samba server--"Host not found." Nor does <host lserver1.test.biz> (which appears in my /etc/hosts file) resolve the name (incidentally, "host -f ..." just tells me the f is an illegal option). WINS seems to resolve OK (at least the test for that in the chapter passes). I've checked my files several times, and I can find no error in them.

Any help on these two would be greatly appreciated.
