jimp Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 what are all these .resolv.conf.****** files in my tmp directory about? there must be close to 50 of them, the last six digits of each file looks like a random set of upper and lower case letters. all look to be empty files in an editor? just curious, I've never seen this before, but if I'm thinking right the . before the file means they are hidden and maybe thats why I haven't!

SoulSe Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 /etc/resolv.conf is where Linux looks for name servers (for DNS). I suspect your DHCP server (or something) is changing the name servers often and the file is being recreated. Not sure why it is making empty copies of it though...
