Using NM, the domainname (not the DNS one) can be changed with every activation of the network. Traditional UNIX protocols only allow to set the domainname once during booting before this applications are started, and it is not allowed to change the name later.
It would be very easy to just drop NIS information from DHCP. If NIS requires one active network connection that is established at boot time and never disappears, then I have to agree - there's not much point in having NM - the assumption is already made that network is already present and can not disappear. -- 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.
