[GRLUG] /etc/resolv.conf

[Bob Kline]

Could be.  The configuration is not
anything I did.  Some of it seems to
date from when I set up the system.
Something found my ISP, via the
Ethernet connection, and presumably
set things accordingly.

As I said, I commented out a few things
in the dhcpcd and wicd areas, so maybe
that will override the changes....
