. . .

It says:

# Defines the DNS merge policy as documented in netconfig(8) manual page. # Set to "" to disable DNS configuration.

Then, what DNS does it write to the resolv file?

It doesn't; this is leaves resolv.conf untouched by the automatic stuff. (You were saying how it would be "far simpler" to write it yourself.)

No. The resolv file lives in ram, in a tmpfs. Something creates it on every boot. What? Never mind what. If you use this recipe to disable the "what", then you can delete the symlink to /var/run/netconfig/resolv.conf. Then make /etc/resolv.conf an ordinary file (sorry, I did forget to mention these steps), and the system will leave it alone, and it will persist between boots. -- Bob
