dynamic resolv.conf issues



First saw this on a test install of ubuntu 8.10. resolv.conf would not
keep nameserver x.x.x.x data. Fixed that by nuking Ubuntu and installed
Debian testing.

A few days ago, I started seeing the same behavior when I reboot: no
namserver data in the dynamically generated resolv.conf. I can fix this
by using the gnome-network-manager or echo 'nameserver x.x.x.x'
/etc/resolv.conf

In the case of ubuntu this was caused by a buggy
nm-configuration-manager IIRC. Once you left DHCP you could not effect
any changes via the gui tool (permission denied to write).

On Lenny, I am not running that tool. What is overwriting my
resolv.conf and how do I keep the correct data while using static IP?
