Bug 1279393

Description of problem:

for following /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks causes some strange behavior with DHCP on AWS.

#!/bin/bash

OPTIONS="options timeout:1 attempts:1"

if grep -Fxq "$OPTIONS" /etc/resolv.conf
then
    exit
else
    echo "; generated by /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks" >> /etc/resolv.conf
    echo ${OPTIONS} >> /etc/resolv.conf
fi


[root@piwik-prod-076 centos]# > /etc/resolv.conf 
[root@piwik-prod-076 centos]# tail -f /etc/resolv.conf 
; generated by /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks
options timeout:1 attempts:1
tail: /etc/resolv.conf: file truncated
options timeout:1 attempts:1

In the end we just have an /etc/resolv.conf with "options timeout:1 attempts:1". It is very strange as the comment line "; generated by /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks" gets written and then, as we can see with the above output, gets truncated. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) on AWS

How reproducible:

Easily reproducible with our env

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up dhclient-exit-hooks with the above
2. $> /etc/resolv.conf 
3  $tail -F on /etc/resolv.conf
3. systemctl network restart on another terminal.

Actual results:

[root@piwik-prod-076 centos]# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
options timeout:1 attempts:1
<extra line>

Expected results:

; generated by /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks
options timeout:1 attempts:1
search cloud.foo.com
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.4

Additional info:

Using a custom dotp from AWS with two name servers and a search domain.
