NM did delete the nameserver information in /etc/resolv.conf . I saw then that one can go to NM's Manage Connections and specify the nameservers one wants to use. When I did that the nameservers remained in /etc/resolv.conf So it seems to me reasonable to say that NM _was_ editing a config file without my knowledge. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
