[App_rpt-users] DNS Setup

[Bob Pyke]

I updated the wiki to reflect this. It would be good if the build would handle it. /etc/resolvconf is modifying /etc/resolv.conf, which can appear to be changed manually, but gets restored to the /etc/resolvconf setting upon reboot. This is a function of the Debian used by DIAL. It appears to me that it is a nontrivial update to netsetup to modify /etc/resolvconf unless it is somehow disabled which can confuse things by making the Debian nonstandard.

Thanks,
Bob
