[Samba] [Fwd: Samba-3 By Ex Chapt 3]

[Eric Hines]

I tried both versions of /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks below, and in each 
case, following a reboot my /etc/resolv.conf was overwritten to its 
original form by dhclient-script. 

Unless this is related to my DNS functionality, which I've written IAW 
BYEXAMPLE Chapt 3 (although, apparently not, as it doesn't work), not 
working, I'd just as soon focus on that, for the time being.  Thanks for 
all the help on /etc/resolv.conf, though, that most assuredly was not 
time wasted.  It'll be useful when I come back to this problem.
