Bug 441057

Main problem is not bugs #339191 and #336601 (both are fixed in RHEL-5 so I can
use same patch in Fedora) but that dhcdbd doesn't exist. Without that component
old dbus machinery cannot work
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-December/msg00146.html).
I think we will not have this capability in F9 but I'm going to try add it to F10.

Is there some workaround to having nm's dhclient pass these parameters on to
some forwarders' script? For example could nm's dhclient call some hook script
like the standard dhclient does?

Hm, it theory you can use /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script. In this script you
have to write nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/named.conf as forwarders
and then restart named.

The fact that /etc/dhclient-*-hooks were not being used any more brought me to
nm swapping out the dhclient scripts with its own
/usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-client.action *binary* which does not care about any
/etc/dhclient-*-hooks any more :(

Dan, is it true that NM doesn't care about /etc/dhclient-*-hooks? (especially
/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script in this case, /sbin/dhclient-script calls it)

NM spawns dhclient with it's own dhclient-script that forwards the DHCP
information back to NetworkManager.  So yeah, no dhclient hooks.

The intended solution is that when you notice network events (either using DBUS
or NetworkManagerDispatcher) you pull the received DHCP information from NM and
then do what you want with it.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
