Re: resolv.conf file is written over on reboot.

[jdaues <jdaues@unm.edu>]

So I installed resolvconf, and then reentered the values for the 
network. I rebooted and now resolv.conf is this:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by 
resolvconf(8)
#    DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

There is no mention of glibc in the resolvconf README file.
What is this telling me?
