[rhelv6-list] /etc/resolv.conf getting replaced?

[Justin Clift]

If it helps, one of the first things I do on systems is disable NetworkManager, then re-enable the "known good", older "network" service.

You need to change the physical network devices to no longer be under NetworkManager control:

  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
    NM_CONTROLLED="yes"

  to

  NM_CONTROLLED="no"

Then:

  $ sudo chkconfig NetworkManager off
  $ sudo chkconfig network on

This will cause the server style, non-dynamic non-NetworkManager configuration to be used from the next boot onwards.

So, if you actually want NetworkManager running, don't do this. :)

Regards and best wishes,
