[Bug 206383] New: /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/* DNS variables useless: don't override ipppd ms-dns option
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206383 Summary: /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/* DNS variables useless: don't override ipppd ms-dns option Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: ISDN AssignedTo: zoz@novell.com ReportedBy: kgw@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de This bug is present probably for a long time: found in SuSE 9.1, SLES-9, SLES-10, SUSE 10.1 /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-ippp executes the following line: test "$MODIFYDNS" = "yes" && CMDLINE_OPT="$CMDLINE_OPT ms-get-dns" This means that, upon ipppd dialin, DNS info supplied by peer via ms-dns is used _unconditionally_, even if the corresponding providers file /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/provider* specifies different nameservers in its DNS* variables. This is bad, as these DNS* specs usually are entered for the purpose of being actually used. Going to attach a patch which causes the ms-get-dns option to be utilized only if no nameservers via DNS* variables are set. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

At least with modem connection DNS settings from the provider file are set properly to resolv.conf. This is done via smpppd and smpppd-ifcfg and not via ip-up. Klaus please use the patch in attachment 103554 and remove your patch from ip-up. It should work then. I will try that myself at home at the weekend. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Confirming that the patch apparently works: /etc/resolv.conf is properly updated both upon dialin and upon dialout (the settings mentioned in comment #2 were actually present all the time in my SUSE providers file). Thanks for the /etc/ppp/ip-up background in comment #3. I'll read through these scripts too, as soon as I find the time ;-) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
