I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on a particular server. In the /etc/resolv.conf<br>
there are two search lines:<br></span>
search <a href="http://domA.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">domA.example.org</a> <<a href="http://domA.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://domA.example.org</a>> <a href="http://domB.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">domB.example.org</a><br>
<<a href="http://domB.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://domB.example.org</a>> # [NOTE I made these up, but the form is the same]<br>
search <a href="http://domA.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">domA.example.org</a> <<a href="http://domA.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://domA.example.org</a>><span class=""><br>
<br>
I want the search setting to be just:<br></span>
search <a href="http://domA.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">domA.example.org</a> <<a href="http://domA.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://domA.example.org</a>><span class=""><br>
<br>
I've deleted the top/offending line, but every time I restart dnsmasq or<br>
run resolvconf -u (for example), the offending line comes back. Where is<br></span>
it getting the <a href="http://domB.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">domB.example.org</a> <<a href="http://domB.example.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://domB.example.org</a>> from? I've<span class=""><br>
looked in all the usual places (I think), and tried "grep -R domB *" in<br>
/etc, but nothing turns up! I'm at a loss.<br>
<br>
Any pointers on where I should look next?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kevin<br>
