Forgot to reopen..
But what I seem to see is that netconfig doesn't set the settings as it should.
ll /etc/resolv.conf* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148 2008-10-13 09:56 /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 795 2008-10-13 07:53 /etc/resolv.conf.netconfig
Attached is my /etc/sysconfig/network/config
This was an upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 Beta 2
This is the reason why you still have problems. See bellow. I reassign this bug to me because of this fact (and because netconfig writes the file now, not NetworkManager) and increase the severity to critical.
On another machine I have all is working as it should, but not on this one.
I'd say, because it was a either a fresh install or there was no resolv.conf (or it was empty)... But lets start from begining. * Before 11.1: There was /sbin/modify_resolvconf, the MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY sysconfig/network/config variable (+ one special for dhcp too) and there were programs _modifying the resolv.conf themself and ignoring both the variable and the script. As result, the programs was overwriting the settings of each and also settings manual added by the user. * On 11.0: We've implemented the netconfig scripts and policy variables allowing to disable netconfig, specify to use only static values, ... Not only NetworkManager but also all another programs have to use it. Netconfig does not overwrite any user modified non-empty config files. Because NetworkManager requires to maintain an own update policy to work correctly, it is allowed to provide the NetworkManager-policy merged settings to netconfig using a special way and netconfig will use it without further merges. If NetworkManager reads and uses the NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_* variables or not, it is completely up to the NetworkManager policy (IMO it shold use them at least as defaults for statically configured interfaces in the GUI). All this is only valid when NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY is set to 'auto' to allow the user to override it. * Migration from old versions: The sysconfig package (that provides netconfig), currently does NOT include migration hooks due to work load on another bugs. They will be added to sysconfig after Beta3 is done to not to break it. This means the migration will be included with Beta4 packages. I'll provide test packages including the migration hooks and post an Url to them here as soon as I've finished to work on them and they work for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
