NetworkManager and DHCP

Hello

Im using Ubuntu Desktop 7.04

Interface eth0 is set to get an IP via DHCP, but I dont want it to get
any information about DNS servers, because im already running bind on
my system and I have static entries in named.conf

So, I edited /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf so that the request line just
got the bits i needed (everything except DNS servers) like this..

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers;

But now it turns out that my /etc/resolv.conf file is being
overwritten by NetworkManager -- with empty entries.

I had the nameserver set to the static IP of my second interface
(eth1), but everytime I boot up NetworkManger overwrites this with
blanks.

Anyone know how to stop this from happening? I dont think I need
NetworkManager running anyway, how do I disable it?

At the menu along the top of the screen, go to
System->Preferences->Sessions. There you'll see, among other things,
Network Manager. Uncheck or delete it. Now you should be able to set
that machine's network stuff the old-fashioned way.
