Hi Thomas,

maybe I will try to reproduce it today. I used webmin-wvdial and the bug
could be located anywhere. webmin-wvdial, wvdial, ppp-tools, ifplugd ...

Even if I can reproduce it come to think of it I don't know how I would find
out what package caused this. Is there a tool that can check what programs
change/changed a file over a period of time and what was done?

For the curious I attached an output of dpkg -l, so anyone can take a wild
guess at what might have caused this. The result was there, though, I can
assure you of this.

So there was a policy violation that at least involved wvdial, since the
dialup dns servers were in that file that is not really supposed to exist.

Thx for looking at the code.

Malte
