I made some edits to the folowing files:

/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts

after rebooting the dns323, the files reverted.

whats the best way to persist these changes across reboots?

I would also like to add some mount points is it safe edit fstab or should i run the mount command from a script

I have the fun_plug version 4 installed

Thanks for any help

At reboot the several files system files are copied from
NVRAM to the hard drive by the script /etc/rc.sh If you
want to modify those files you can create a script to make
the changes after they are copied from NVRAM each reboot.

For example to edit the hosts file create a script "host_edit.sh"

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/echo "192.168.1.12 kuro kuro" >> /etc/hosts

This script adds the host definition for a system called 'kuro'

Place the "hosts_edit.sh" script in the /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start
directory and make the script executable. All executable script in
the /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start directory will be executed by fun_plug
at startup (for fun_plug v.3 & v.4 - I haven't tried v.5 yet)

Hi Mig,

Apologies beforehand if this is a dumb question but isnt one 'kuro' sufficient? Typo?

Thanks for the response. I'm going to try and test this out tonight.

I think that the second entry in the hosts file allows you to define an alias for the host. Since the name is the same, I'm not sure it is needed in this case; but probably doesn't hurt to add it.

The first entry, after the IP address, is the fully qualified domain name of the host
this can be determined by the command #hostname -f, the second (or more) entries
are alias for the host. In this case they are the same, but that is because I haven't
setup a UNIX domain for my home network, behind a NAT router..
