22 (As I mentioned in different post, I found the offending line in conf.d/net
23 and fixed. Or, thought I did...)
24
25 Here is /etc/conf.d/net:
26
27
28 config_eth0=( "192.168.100.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.100.255" )
29 routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.100.1" )
30
31 /etc/nsswitch.conf:
32
33 passwd: compat
34 shadow: compat
35 group: compat
36
37 # passwd: db files nis
38 # shadow: db files nis
39 # group: db files nis
40
41 hosts: files dns
42 networks: files dns
43
44 services: db files
45 protocols: db files
46 rpc: db files
47 ethers: db files
48 netmasks: files
49 netgroup: files
50 bootparams: files
51
52 automount: files
53 aliases: files
54
55 /etc/hosts:
56
57
58 127.0.0.1 localhost
59 ::1 localhost
60
61 /etc/resolv.conf:
62
63 nameserver 209.116.241.10
64 nameserver 216.99.225.31
65 nameserver 216.99.233.253
66
67 . . .
68
69 The problem is that I installed djbdns and ran the scripts to set it up.
70
71 It didn't work to cache and serve dns queries, so I gave up. But unmerging
72 it left me with no DNS at all.
73
74 I was hoping to find out what these scripts overwrote that's hijacking my
75 DNS requests.
76
77 Anyway, if anyone on the list has removed djbdns and re-configured access
78 directly to their ISP's nameservers, I'd like to know if it was effortless,
79 or was there something else required.
