Every few days something updates my resolv.conf file. I usually have
nameserver 127.0.0.1 because I have a nameserver, but somehow the
nameservers for rogers.com get in there and the whole thing stops. I might
have done something stupid like install a package I shouldn't have. In
Windows I am use to being able to get a list of what I have installed, so I
didn't write that stuff down. Is there a way of getting a list of what I
installed, or at least, what packages are installed on my machine?

Lininger 2 siblings, 2 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Gregory Nowak @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup If you get your ip address via dhcp, clients such as dhcpcd update your resolv.conf, based on the nameservers supplied by your isp's dhcp server. There is a way to turn this off, by supplying a switch to dhcpcd, see the dhcpcd man page for details. Also, if you have a pppoe connection to the net, I believe that rp-pppoe changes your resolv.conf as well.

Lininger 2 siblings, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Kenny Hitt @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi. Are you getting your IP from your ISP using DHCP? If so, then your dhcp client is updating the resolv.conf file. I use dhclient for my DHCP client. In /etc/dhclient.conf I have the line prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; That lets my local server be the default for everything on the local network.

* Re: Resolv.conf ` Resolv.conf Luke Davis @ ` Kenny Hitt 0 siblings, 0 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Kenny Hitt @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup The docs for dnsmasq and chdlient say different. Just for fun, we'll assume you're correct. In that case, how does the gateway to the interned on your local network get DNS information? Remember, dnsmasq is a caching server. It has to get DNS info from another server.
