Ben,
IIRC, swap files start with a '.' (dot) and are thus hidden.
Take a look for that. It basically means a previous editing session was
ended uncleanly and vi (or your editor's) tmp file was cleaned up. DEL
the swap and all will be good again.

Hi all,
i'm trying to edit resolv.conf
it keeps coming up with the message that there is a resolv.conf.swp so
something else must be editing resolv.conf
however i'm not and i've restarted the machine. I also cannot find
resolv.conf.swp by doing...
find / -name resolv.conf.swp
anyone care to enlighten me on what's happening here?
Thanks,
Ben
