Which symlink did you remove?
/etc/resolv.conf should be a symlink to
$PREFIX/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf otherwise it won't actually work
as resolvconf never updates the real /etc/resolv.conf
$PREFIX/etc/resolvconf/run should be a symlink to /var/run/resolvconf so
that all prior information collected is cleaned when the system boots.

No, not really. I spent enough time maintaining my software :)
On another note, what is the preferred means of getting something into
ports? I also have dhcpcd [1] and a ports Makefile for it (dhcpcd is a
DHCP client)
Thanks

PS - not currently subscribed to ports@ - should I be for this
