Hi, would anyone know why KPPP (Suse 8.2) would seem to keep deleting the file /etc/resolv.conf? I think KPPP changes this file while a dial-up session is in use. If I create an empty file KPPP will connect without complaint but at the next log-on it's missing, KPPP complains but connects anyway.
I am creating the file as root (dialing out as a normal user) but does it need any special permission attributes? All users for KPPP are defined in the file /etc/kppp.allow and kppp itself is restricted to the group 'dialout' and chmod 4750 (as per the instructions in the kppp kde manual).
Sorry to ask the group. I have Googled/man-paged/pulled hair out, etc before deciding to take this route - honest.
Many thanks - Martin
