protecting /etc/resolv.conf from being overwritten when ppp0 is dialed up

1.3k views Asked by At

I have an embedded system running a busybox distribution and for some reason i can't seem to find my dhclient.conf (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhclient.conf&sektion=5) that would let me "protect" resolv.conf wt but DHCP still works, how could that be? Also, is there another way to protect the nameservers in resolv.conf?
