Good, I'm a bit embarrassed about the method I suggested as it was an ugly hack. I better solution is to get pppd to ask the peer it connects to for the nameserver by putting the option usepeerdns in /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch (or whatever the script is called - if I use the speedtouchconf package to set up the userspace driver it calls the script adsl). That way pppd will create a file /etc/ppp/resolv.conf with the numbers you need and it will get updated every time you connect. All you have to do then is put a symbolic link in /etc pointing at /etc/ppp/resolv.conf su password cd /etc ln -s ppp/resolv.conf Sorry for being a balloon, Yours, Andrew Benton Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
