The consensus of the list seemed to be that I should change the PEERDNS variable. It seems not to be working. The machine rebooted yesterday, /etc/resolv.conf got rewritten again. And yet:<br><br> find /etc/sysconfig/ -type f -exec grep -iH &#39;peerdns=&#39; {} \;<br>

# chkconfig --list|grep Net<br>NetworkManager  0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off<br># /etc/init.d/NetworkManager status<br>NetworkManager is stopped<br># find /etc/sysconfig/ -type f -exec grep -iH &#39;bootproto=&#39; {} \;<br>

<br><br>So, it&#39;s not PEERDNS, not DHCP, not NetworkManager. Why is dhclient-script even being run?<br><br>Maybe I should disable selinux altogether, instead of just making it permissive? I think I&#39;ll try that.<br>

reboot, some process rewrites /etc/resolv.conf, including a comment<br>
about dhcpclient. The only package I have installed that shows up in<br>
&quot;rpm -qa|grep -i dhcp&quot; is dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5, and nothing in<br>
there is named dhcpclient.<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to figure out what software is rewriting this file and why.<br>
man 5 resolv.conf  and man resolver are unhelpful in this case. rpm<br>
reports /etc/resolv.conf is not owned by any package.<br>
<br>
At this point, I am as (or more) interested in pointers regarding how<br>
to find the answer as I am in the actual answer. Please teach me to<br>
fish.<br>
