Description Thomas J. Baker 2005-01-27 19:54:45 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
After upgrading to said version, NM doesn't create the resolv.conf
with a search directive so non-FQDNs don't work. This is quite
annoying and I'm wondering if it's a bug or a feature? 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.3.3-1.cvs20050119.2.fc3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to a wireless network and get a dhcp address
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  NM creates a resolv.conf that doesn't have the search
domain returned by the DHCP server.

Additional info:

I'm using ipw2200 driver in the kernel. (As an aside, what's the
reason for not putting the newer version in the kernel anyway?
Probably not your bag but Dave must have a reason?)

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2005-01-29 22:43:36 UTC
-> Colin

(WRT ipw2200, we mostly try to stay with upstream kernels for Fedora,
so when the ipw drivers are upstream, they'll get into fedora...)

Comment 2 Colin Walters 2005-01-31 19:08:57 UTC
Are there any log messages relating to it?

partial /var/log/messsages showing nm messages

nm is logging all the correct things but the actual /etc/resolv.conf file lacks
the search directive:

continuity> cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
nameserver 132.177.241.111
nameserver 132.177.241.100

Comment 4 Colin Walters 2005-02-01 01:24:34 UTC
Hi,

I'm an idiot.  Dan, can you review and apply this patch?

Comment 5 Colin Walters 2005-02-01 01:25:32 UTC

really use searches

Note this patch includes a fix to use the correct syntax for multi-domain
searches.

Comment 6 Dan Williams 2005-02-02 02:38:18 UTC
Colin, I assume this is for resolv.conf, right?

Isn't the format of resolv.conf "search domain1 domain2"?  It looks
like this patch would do "search domain1 search domain2".  We should
probably move the g_append_str ("search ") to
compute_domain_searches() instead...

Is that a correct read of the situation?

Dan

Do searches v2

Colin, does this look better?  Also in rewrite_resolv_conf() it looks like the
"searches" line would get appended to the file twice, once by the first
fprintf() right under compute_domain_searches() and then next inside the
#ifndef NM_NO_NAMED...	If that's correct, then the patch fixes that too.

Comment 8 Colin Walters 2005-02-02 14:53:16 UTC
Dan, looks good to me.

Comment 9 Dan Williams 2005-02-02 15:52:50 UTC
committed to CVS

Comment 10 Thomas J. Baker 2005-02-02 21:48:27 UTC
FWIW, I added the patch to the current SRPM of NM and all it does is
add a blank line to the resolv.conf file :( The patch appeared to
apply cleanly.

Comment 11 Dan Williams 2005-02-02 21:51:03 UTC
Hmm, worksforme.  Can you post the output of your DHCP transaction as
reported by /var/log/messages?  I'm fairly sure that the only way that
you won't get a search domain is if the DHCP server doesn't give you one.

FWIW, current CVS has an updated version of this patch that fixes a
few things.

Dan

How soon to an FC3 release of current CVS? 

Comment 13 Dan Williams 2005-02-02 22:42:12 UTC
Hopefully by tomorrow in FC3-updates-testing?

Comment 14 Thomas J. Baker 2005-02-03 00:24:06 UTC
Cool, thanks. I'll look for it then.

Comment 15 Thomas J. Baker 2005-02-16 13:38:23 UTC
So how about that FC3 update? The one from rawhide that just came out
can't be installed on FC3 without half of rawhide with it. I've built
one to tide my over but I'm using NM on quite a few laptops in our
environment so it would be good to have an update from the normal feeds.

Comment 16 Thomas J. Baker 2005-04-12 14:49:43 UTC
Fixed.
