[PLUG] Security/Firewall question

[beldon@scamail.com]

Hi there.

I am just setting up a firewall for my DSL connection.  Now, I don't have the
DSL yet, so in the meantime I'm using the dialup from the firewall.  It seemed
to be working well until today.  I looked in linuxconf and saw that the
DNS Server addresses had been changed somehow.  I thought I had perhaps changed
them accidentally, so I changed them back to what they should have been, and
dialed in again.  When I went back in again, it had changed back to the wrong
addresses again.My question(s) is (are):

1. Is there a file that overrides the DNS settings in linuxconf?
2. Is there some normal ppp logging in process that can legitimately re-set
these values?
3. Have I been hacked already?  (Only got the thing to work two days ago)
Any advice would be appreciated.Thanx! - Tony (new to all this networking stuff)
