https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432432 Summary: dhclient shouldn't write empty resolv.conf Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer I have the following scenario: I'm using NetworkManager on the laptop and now I'm connecting a Windows Mobile device via USB. This loads rndis_host and the synce stuff loads a script via HAL to setup the peer connection to the device using dhclient. With the default configuration my (NetworkManager managed) resolv.conf gets overwritten with an empty non-usable resolv.conf by dhclient. So my suggestion would be to not overwrite resolv.conf when no nameserver is returned from the DHCP server anyway. Another thing which could be probably done is to add some feature to be able to control the writing of resolv.conf via dhclient commandline or environment variable which can be used from these custom scripts calling dhclient. (I know the workaround is to set DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF to "no") -- 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.
