Hallo, I 'm trying to install the file /etc/resolv.conf on a linux 9.1 client with autoinstallation. My xml-file looks like this: 1) <configure> <networking> <dns> <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">true</dhcp_hostname> <domain>zam.kfa-juelich.de</domain> <hostname>zam724</hostname> <nameservers config:type="list"> <nameserver>134.94.80.2</nameserver> <nameserver>134.94.80.3</nameserver> <nameserver>134.94.100.7</nameserver> </nameservers> <searchlist config:type="list"> <search>zam.kfa-juelich.de</search> <search>kfa-juelich.de</search> <search>fz-juelich.de</search> </searchlist> </dns> <scripts> <post-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <filename>post.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source> .... During executing post.sh-script I listed /etc/resolv.conf. It is installed with searchline and nameserver , but without line " domain zam.kfa-juelich.de" 2) to prevent several daemons from changing resolv.conf I inserted: <sysconfig config:type="list"> <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>XNTPD_INITIAL_NTPDATE</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_path>xntp</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_value>134.94.80.2</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_path>/etc/sysconfig/network/config</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_value>no</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> </sysconfig> .... --> /etc/sysconfig/network/config is installed with line MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY="no" a) /etc/resolv.conf is linked to a file mounted readonly by nfs in post.sh which is valid to all our clients , without 2) --> link is overwritten, resolv.conf is changed by dhcpd , pay attention to length 0 of /etc/resolv.conf.saved.by.dhcpcd zam724:~ # ls -l /etc/reso* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1321 Aug 5 12:42 /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125 Aug 5 12:20 /etc/resolv.conf.install -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 5 12:42 /etc/resolv.conf.saved.by.dhcpcd b) /etc/resolv.conf is installed as a link to a file mounted ro by nfs in post.sh and with 2) :MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY="no" --> When system boots for the first time, there are the following errormessages on screen and /etc/resolv.conf becomes an empty file!!!!! grep resolv /var/log/* boot.msg:Cleaning up using /sbin/modify_resolvconf: boot.msg:touch: cannot touch `/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory boot.msg:Deleted the following stale backups: removed `/etc/resolv.conf.saved.by.yast2' boot.msg:sed: can't read /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory boot.msg:cat: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory messages:Aug 4 11:24:15 linux modify_resolvconf: Service yast2 modified /etc/resolv.conf.
