Rebooting does a pretty good job of restarting all programs, including daemons. :)
This is an ongoing problem through days or use, so yes, it gets restarted often.

Yes, that's what I tried first. It has absolutely no effect. Then I created some specific
"interface" entries. Since it left error messages in the log when I made mistakes, it
is clearly reading the config file.

No, but I do use wicd. Does that write resolv.conf too? Avahi was running on the system,
but I removed it. Also checked for resolvconf and it doesn't show as installed even though
there is a resolvconf directory. Is there anything else that might be over-writing the file?
