Force openDNS

Noahetrex · 10-18-2009, 06:38 PM

I am using openDNS on my current Linux box and I was wondering if their is a way to force the DNS settings to stay the same even if ROOT tries to change it (since my dad wants content filtering password protected and I still want my computers root access...)

Thanks in advance!

if root wants it changed ,then it changes .

First prepare resolv.conf just the way you want it. Then:

Code:

# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

It's immutable. Unless you expect someone with root access to intentionally remove the attribute, you're all set.
