I'm fairly new to NetBSD and am finding out just how different from FreeBSD
it is. I downloaded the current 1.6 yesterday and installed it. I've built
a box to serve as an IDS but it cannot resolve any host names because it
tries to use itself as a DNS with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. I don't want
this to run BIND or named or any thing relating to DNS at all and have made
sure that this is not installed and not running so I'm at a loss to figure
out why it thinks it should be using itself.
What I need to find out is what I need to change to get it to use the DNS
servers that are listed in the resolv.conf. I've looked everywhere in the
documents that I looks remotely pertinent and I've searched Google to no
avail. Any suggestions (other than RTFM :-)) are appreciated.
Thanks,
