Description Joe Acosta 2002-06-06 03:45:58 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510

Description of problem:
There is a setting in redhat-config-network (rhcn) that say s "Automatically
obtain DNS information from provider.  If this is or is not checked it still
obtains teh DNS from the ISP.  

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup a ppp account through the rhcn tool
2. add some listing in the /etc/resolv.conf
3. make sure that you uncheck the switch Automatically obtain DNS information
from ISP
4. connect to your isp
5. your settings in the /etc/resolv.conf are overwritten


Actual Results:  before 

search <local servername>.<domain>
nameserver <your specified IP>

after
search <local servername>.<domain>
nameserver 207.217.77.82
nameserver 207.217.77.83



Expected Results:  the file should be the same before and after

Additional info:

While this is fine in most cases when running a caching DNS server.

Workaround is to edit the file after connection and fix it.

This screws up the setting the system up so that a script could be run to cache
the most commonly accessed servers using dig.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2002-06-26 16:14:23 UTC

fixed in CVS

Comment 2 Kiat Huang 2002-07-01 12:57:15 UTC

A workaround is to add "PEERDNS=no" to the appropriate ifcfg-pppX file
Harald, when's the new fix due out?

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2002-07-01 13:14:15 UTC
