Hi, probably someone had similar problem before, but I decided to describe it. Few days ago I suddenly discovered that my resvol.conf is changed , it looks likt that: domain darkorb.net search darkorb.net nameserver 216.118.116.101 nameserver 66.197.217.12 nameserver 66.246.41.14 nameserver 66.197.217.11 nameserver 66.96.193.2 nameserver 66.96.194.2
This is a Cpanel software issue, not a security issue. The file is changed when you log into the administrator interface, where it assumes your file isn't correct--which is does anyway, even if it is and given the number of nameservers, it's not anyway--and overwrites it. Sometimes, I imagine, it may automate this without prompting you. Contact the Cpanel author for support. -- Tim Greer <chatmaster () charter net> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Network with over 10,000 of the brightest minds in information security at the largest, most highly-anticipated industry event of the year.
