====== Ubuntu - etc - resolv.conf - Opting-out of netconfig ======

**netconfig** is often found on openSUSE, SUSE, and derivative distributions.

You can disable netconfig’s handling of /etc/resolv.conf by disabling the NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY option in /etc/sysconfig/network/config to an empty string as shown below.

<file bash /etc/sysconfig/network/config>
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=""
</file>

Afterward, you should delete the netconfig-generated resolv.conf file, and reboot the system.

<code bash>
rm /etc/resolv.conf
reboot
</code>
