According to 'man nm-settings-ifcfg-rh', PEERDNS=no is the old network-services services mechanism for not changing /etc/resolv.conf, while in NM it just means never add automatic nameservers to resolv.conf from DHCP, PPP, VPN, etc. Turning off all DNS updates means adding: [main] dns=none ... to the NetworkManager.conf (or preferably in an /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ file) is probably going to be the most effective way. I've seen PEERDNS=no make NetworkManager not overwrite my resolv.conf but maybe I should be extra careful and drop in a config file that turns off all dns updating features of NetworkManager. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
