Hi all,

   I have now tried everything I can think of to prevent my 
'/etc/resolv.conf' file from being re-written when I switch networks and 
nothing seems to work. I have my own DNS server and I have no desire to 
use other people's DNS servers. I use a laptop so I am frequently 
connecting to DHCP-servered LANs.

   I have tried specifying DNS in the graphical network config, manually 
setting up my devices in '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts' and even 
changing the permissions on the file to '444' but they where changed 
back to '644' and re-written non the less. Can anyone tell me how to 
stop this behavior?

   This is exactly the behavior I -left- MS for (forcing decisions on 
me). Grr!

   Thanks all!

Madison
