[plug] /etc/resolv.conf drama

[garry]

Actually, my firewall, a smoothwall box, does the connection PPP stuff.. The 
client machine (lappy) seems to have the demons inside it.. These dramas were 
not present on Potato, Mandrake(various), Progeny setups..

I have a desktop machine connected also, and it is fine. It is RH7.2 (for the 
short term...).

Seems a Woody only thing. 8^)==
Don't get me wrong, Woody is a fine thing. It works really well otherwise on 
this P166 80Mb ram laptop.. Runs more quickly and seemingly inspiring more 
confidence than M8.1 and certainly better than RH7.2!

Anway, will bring it tonight..

Regards,

Garry.
