https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632712 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632712#c1 --- Comment #1 from Marius Tomaschewski <mt@novell.com> 2010-08-19 08:35:46 UTC --- The novell-ipsec-tools plugin should: a) not write /etc/resolv.conf itself, but deliver them to the NetworkManager via NetworkManager plugin API. b) write them using netconfig with custom DNS policy: netconfig modify -s racoon -i $INTERFACE <<<"DNSSERVERS='42.42.42.42'" and remove at the end of the session using: netconfig remove -s racoon -i $INTERFACE in "ifup" mode or in NetworkManager mode with NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY='STATIC_FALLBACK NetworkManager *' the settings provided by 'racoon' will be preferred (see also new NETCONFIG_DNS_RANKING variable on SLE11-SP1 and 11.3) and written at the begin of the /etc/resolv.conf (forwarders.conf, ...). More aggressive is: NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY='STATIC_FALLBACK * NetworkManager' It works with any netconfig version... but should be avoided, because it allows any service to override NM settings. c) at least remove the self-generated /etc/resolv.conf and call "netconfig update" at the end of the vpn session, that will restore the settings then. -- 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.

Martin,

Please delete the old /etc/resolv.conf before the new test. Cause the resolv.conf can't change by NetworkManager when others change it.

After that the simple is restart the machine, after the connection was okay, check the resolv.conf, then use the nvpn or NetworkManager to connect the VPN server, after that check the resolv.conf.

@Li Great, works like a charm! -- 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.

I see that we had to fix this issue for every recent distribution again, and I believe that we should fix this in a more reliable way. a) Either allow the novell-nortelplugins to do the modifications with netconfig itself. b) Or fix NetworkManager in a way, that it does all the needed modifications for novell-nortelplugins in a reliable way. Just pretending to be NetworkManager does not seem to be a good solution for this problem. -- 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.

Hope it could be in the next release. Thanks!

For this update we need also a proper solution. Can you backport the new fix? -- 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.

On 11.3 x86_64 with latest updates and I also use the nortel pieces. What brought this to my attention is that when I come into work (and dock for a wired connection) I still have my home DNS server (192.168.1.1) because NetworkManager will not overwrite /etc/resolv.conf (since it is no longer default). The result is slowness until I go and clean things up manually but this is kind of painful. I, too, would like the fix to be released. -- 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.
