Re: "search domain" define




Thanks for your advice.

I tried editing my Darwin config "BSD-style" which didn't work, moreover after every reboot the system restores /etc/resolv.conf, etc to defaults - I don't understand why this happens.

To solve this I (already) installed ncutils but, on Powerbook G4 (Darwin 8.0), ncutils complains heavily and appears to work incorrectly (or did I do something wrong? It works fine in Darwin 7.0 + Mac OSX).

ncutil can be used to setup your DHCP configuration, search domains,
etc.  It was written mainly because pure Darwin has no network
configuration utility.

Visit:

   " http://turin.nss.udel.edu/ncutil"

and grab "ncutil31UD_install.tgz".
