Didn't he then go on to say that it was populated? (Letting the system
create that configuration file.) Surely his subsequent tests were
after that stage.
Didn't see that until later.
I'm not in the habit of posting things that I've done that don't work. :-) :-)
Networkmanager must be checking if /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link and only updating its own private resolver configs, otherwise it'll update them and /etc/resolv.conf
I have no idea of what "private configs" you speak. I also can't think of why NM would ever check if
/etc/resolv.conf was a symlink. Where is that documented?
