[GRLUG] /etc/resolv.conf

I changed my nameserver entries
in /etc/resolv.conf to use Google's.
Much faster.

But something keeps changing it
back to Comcast's entries. Often.

I can see that there are resolv.conf
entries in several places,  including
/var/lib/dhcpcd and /var/lib/wicd.

Not what I want.

Can someone provide a short word
salad about how the resolv.conf entry
in /etc/ is managed, and suggest how
I go about overriding the changes?

I can always tell when my changes are
overwritten, because things slow down.
