i need to keep nwam from changing resolv.conf ( osol 2009.06 & OpenDNS nameservers )
 

Hi!

Im trying to configure my laptop running OpenSolaris 2009.06 to use OpenDNS nameservers, regardless of where i am / what dhcp server i am connected to.

I set the nameservers in resolv.conf but when i restart nwam, resolv.conf gets overwritten with the nameservers supplied by the dhcp server.

I have tried the following:
chmod -w /etc/resolv.conf
didnt solve the problem

made the following changes to /etc/default/dhcpagent
# PARAM_REQUEST_LIST=1,3,6,12,15,28,43
# edited below by joe to prevent taking dns from dhcp
PARAM_REQUEST_LIST=1,3,12,28,43

Please also note that the dhcp server im trying this out with is a netgear FWG114P wireless router. i doubt that makes a difference, but just in case. I have it currently set to use the ISP's nameservers, so that i can get the laptop to ignore the settings that the router is providing, this way when i go to a friends house or whatever, i can still use the dns servers of my choice.

Any help / insights appreciated!!

thanx,
joe

Not sure it is related but...

I am trying to get local dns set up on my network. And my resolv.conf also getss over writen when I restart my netwonking service. Would sure be nice to know where to put the name server I want included in those sent to my clients.

Nwam allows hooking custom scripts that will be run automatically after certain events occur. You might be able to overwrite the dns settings there although I don't know exactly when these hooks are called.

Google /etc/nwam/ulp/check-conditions for details.
