Just for the record. there is an easier way to do this.

http://www.timwort.org/sol11tips/Con...DNS_Client.pdf

the short story is that /etc/resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf are placeholders and will get overwritten by the svccfg on reboot. if you used the procedure outlined in the link above it will import the contents of those files into the svccfg and make it persistent across a reboot.

MAILMAN2LURKER(8)					      Administrative commands						 MAILMAN2LURKER(8)

NAME
mailman2lurker - Import mailman lists and their archives into a lurker database. SYNOPSIS
mailman2lurker -i|-p [options] DESCRIPTION
mailman2lurker has mainly two functions. First, it parses mailman's lists and creates a lurker configuration include out of them. Second, it imports archives from mailman lists into a lurker database. To build a new lurker database from mailmans archives, first run 'mailman2lurker -p'. Next you need to add 'include = /etc/lurker/lurker.conf.mailman' into /etc/lurker/lurker.conf.local. Finally import mailmans mboxes by running 'mailman2lurker -i'. If you want to add new lists to an already existing lurker configuration, run 'mailman2lurker -p -w newlists' and afterwards 'mailman2lurker -i -f newlists'. This will import only the mbox files of mailman lists that have been added to the lurker configuration because they were new to lurker. COMMANDS
-p, --parse Parse mailman lists, and create a lurker configuration include file containing all parsed lists. Lists that are already configured in lurker are ignored. -i, --import Import archives of all lists. This parses the lurker configuration and imports the mailman mbox at /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox for every list. OPTIONS
-c, --config <config> Use <config> as lurker configuration file. Default: /etc/lurker/lurker.conf -o, --outfile <outfile> Write list configuration to <outfile>. If this is not specified, <lurker.conf>.mailman will be used. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -g, --group <group> Use <group> for new lists. Default is 'undef'. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -a, --listhost <listhost> Use <listhost> as host for new list addresses. If a new list is called 'mylist' and <listhost> is lists.org, then the list address will be mylist@lists.org. Default is 'example.org'. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -l, --link <url link> Use <url link> as base for links of new lists. If a list is called 'mylist', and <url link> is 'http://lists.org', then the link address will be http://lists.org/mylist. Default is 'http://example.org'. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -s, --lang <language> Use <language> as language for new lists. Needs to be a language token. Default is 'en'. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -w, --write-lists <file> Write a list of all lists that have been added to the lurker configuration. Safe that list in <file>. Default is off. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -x, --list-cmd <file> Use <command|file> to get the list of mailman lists that should be parsed. When <command|file> is a command, it needs to end with ' |'. Default is '/var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists |'. This option is only useful in conjunction with -p. -f, --listfile <file> Import only lists that are listed in <file>. This option is only useful in conjunction with -i. -d, --lists <one[,two,...]> Import only lists that are given as argument. This option is only useful in conjunction with -i. -h, --help Display a help message. -v, --version Display mailman2lurker's version number. SEE ALSO
