highway54,

/etc/resolv.conf is not an executable/binary file, it is a config file. One of the first things you need to learn is when you su to root, you need to use the - or you do not get root's profiles to load. ie: su -

If you want to see what is in that file, you can use several commands, cat /etc/resolv.conf being one, you could replace cat with many other viewing utilities such as more, less, etc.

A usefull way to find out what type of file you are looking at is with the command file, you could: file /etc/resolv.conf and it would return and let you know it was a config file.

A good site to help you learn is

search the how-to's there are even intro to linux howto's

Good luck..

/etc/resolv.conf is not a binary executable.use cat to see the contents file.Normally it contents the domain name to search and ip of your name server.You can use vi-editor to edit it.Thankyou

highway5, the /etc/resolv.conf file is simple text file. To edit this file, use a text editor such as vi.

Whenever your not sure what type a file is, whether it be a text file, binary, or whatever, use the "file" command.

[root@rhas root]# file /etc/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf: ASCII text
