Fedora 15

How can I lock down DNS nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf , every time I
reboot the DNS is changed ?

Fedora is getting bad DNS numbers from a 2Wire router.

Assuming you are using Gnome....

All you need to do is bring up "network settings" you simply go to IPv4
settings and if you are using DHCP simply select the Method "Automatic
(DHCP) addresses only". This then allows you to manually configure DNS
servers.

The manual way to do it would be to edit the appropriate ifcfg- file to
have....

PEERDNS=no
DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Two ways: Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<whatever>
script for the interface associated with the router providing the
bad info and add the line:

PEERDNS=no

You might have to reboot a couple of times after that to get the
network properly shutdown and restarted with the PEERDNS=no
line in place.

After the reboots, it should be safe to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf
and the contents should remain undisturbed from that point on.

If that doesn't fix it, there is always the big hammer:

Edit /etc/resolv.conf the way you want it, then do:

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

That sets the "immutable" attribute so even root can't modify
the file. (If you ever want to modify it again, you'll need
to do chattr -i first).

P.S. This only works for redhat based distros. The rules to
achieve the same PEERDNS=no effect on other distros vary wildly
(the most wacko being opensuse).

And I'll say what the other two haven't said: Why can't you reconfigure
the router properly?

Maybe. Some ISPs, like my Dad's, supply DSL routers to their clients and don't allow client access.

If that is the case, they will get a LOT of telephone calls when they
supply a DNS server address that is non-functional.

Asus transformer. Keep meaning to change that default sig.

I'm jealous - let me know of your impressions sometime.

X-Enigmail-Version: 1.2.1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hello,

for the planned media-libs/mesa-7.11 stabilization, the default radeon
r600 driver changes from classic to gallium. Users who upgrade from
mesa-7.10 will not be switched automatically. I promised in
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_225e87fe47a62b0591fb46ba4054798=
f.xml
to make a news item when that happens.

Question is, can I put the EAPI 2 USE conditional
"media-libs/mesa[video_cards_radeon]" in Display-If-Installed: or not? I
don't find any explicit mentioning. GLEP 42 (which predates EAPI 2) just
says "a dependency atom".

Possible answers:
1. If an EAPI is approved for use in the portage tree, its USE syntax
can also be used for news items.
2. Council must approve EAPIs for news items
3. A new GLEP or new version of the News-Item-Format is necessary

Your thoughts? Am I missing something?


Best regards,
Ch=C3=AD-Thanh Christopher Nguy=E1=BB=85n

A more generic way is to edit "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" not to request
DNS server settings from the DHCP server with a "supercede" statement.
