Description Paulo Andrade 2021-02-12 14:08:48 UTC

The issue was fixed for rhel7 in bz# 677316 but the manual page
for systems with the issue fixed sitll say that the search list
is currently limited to six domains with a total of 256 characters.

Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2021-02-12 14:16:23 UTC

The manual pages are in the man-pages component.

Upstream commit:

commit c594a728b2313a41375d8e88901e5e4c64ae1ba0

    resolv.conf.5: Update information about search list
    
    Since glibc 2.26, the number of domains in the search list is
    no longer limited.

Also recommended:

    resolv.conf.5: Attempt clarify domain/search interaction
    
    The domain directive is historic at this point; it should not
    be used.
