[Scratchbox-users] Network issue in Scratchbox

[Jussi Hakala]

It might be a good idea to consider symlinking 
/scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf the same way it's done 
with fstab, group, passwd and mtab.

That way, from outside scratchbox they're the same with the host and 
from inside scratchbox they're the same with the target.

There shouldn't be anything to prevent this, at least nothing that comes 
to mind when writing this...

Regards,

   Jussi
