FC10 network setup repeatedly overwritten

[dpawson]

Recent FC10 totally clean install. Fully updated using yum.

Using gui
/system/administration/network I set up my DNS to the two IP addresses I've been given.

$service network restart

cat /etc/resolv.conf and the secondary DNS has changed to the IP address of my
gateway (router, at 192.168.2.x)

I.e. something is overwriting resolv.conf

Prior to this install, I'd been successfully using fixed IP on the 192.168.2.x range
quite happily.
Now it only works on DHCP and DNS seems to take an age.

Any suggestions where the 'overwrite' is happening please?

That would probably be neworkmanager , disable it

su -
chkconfig --level 12345 NetworkManager off
service NetworkManager stop

Listing services I don't have a 'networkmanager' Leigh?
Did you mean something else?

And why please?
Where is it getting the 'wrong' info from to load resolv.conf from?

su -
chkconfig --list

Have you tried making /etc/resolv.conf read only ?

su
chmod -w /etc/resolv.conf

Far too sensible (and obvious) for me Leigh :-)

Mmm. At what risk I wonder? Who needs to write to it?

I'll try it... although it is behaving this morning (sods law works well doesn't it!)
