Using brute force to prevent /etc/resolv.conf from being changed (with a suggested chmod or chflags) is, imho, not the way. Play by the book, and put something like this in /etc/resolv.conf: prepend domain-name "my.nameserver.net "; prepend domain-name-servers 194.0.0.1; supersede domain-name "my.nameserver.net " The trailing spaces ARE intentional. That worked like a charm for me, and will "survive" a reboot. Substitute your own ISP, of course. - Mark
