That's because this file is either created during the configure the network phase of the initial setup (bootdisks) or isn't created at all. This problem probably existed in one of the older bootdisk versions. The permissions are fine on both of my machines (one originally 1.1, other 1.3). -- Proudly running Debian Linux!

/etc/resolv.conf has wrong permissions
Hi all, I installed 1.3 on a clean machine this week using the 30 May '97 series of disks. The install went smoothly except for two things. The X Windows 3.3 in unstable has the same problem that has been discussed in this list, (Lack of tty0), so I won't go into that. However, /etc/resolv.conf is installed with or modified to root/root -rw--- permissions. This sounds logical until a normal user tries to dial out. It was weird, my normal account would dial and login ok, but all of the net calls would show a Host name lookup failure. I could even su to root and things would work fine. To make this short, I changed the permissions to root/dip -rw-r- and things are fine now. I would appreciate hearing comments. I'll try to track down the offending package and file a bug report, but with my skill level, that may take a while. Debian is a great system, this is my second. Thanks Rob Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. Rob MacWilliams [EMAIL PROTECTED] N9NPU -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

That would change the permissions. Sorry about the waste of bandwidth, it's obvious who knows what they're doing. Not me. Thanks Rob Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
