Description Charles Norwood 2001-01-13 19:31:26 UTC

When browsing Earthlink's start.earthlink.net while using IDT.net as the 
dial-up, the name server addresses shown in the network configuration under 
the control-panel were changed.  This without warning, or my permission.  I 
was not using the root account, nor was I asked for the root password.

That's normal; pppd gets the nameserver information when it connects.
