[plug] resolv.conf file

[William Kenworthy]

Checkout man dhcpcd

-R     Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/resolv.conf file.

-Y     Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/yp.conf file.
Domainname is not updated unless -D is specified.

-N     Prevents dhcpcd from replacing existing /etc/ntp.conf file.

There are a number of dhcp packages out there, dhcpcd is the one I have
seen the most. Note that dhcpcd can overwrite other files as well.

Never heard of resolvconf, so I guess its something that has to be
manually installed, so its unlikely to be the problem unless he has
purposely added it, in which case he would have known what it does.
