pump leaves the "search" entry in /etc/resolv.conf empty (tested on 7.0 gold, pump-0.8.3-2). On a 6.1 and a 6.2 the search entry was set to the "option domain-name" from the dhcpd.
If the domain-name contains only one "." and the toplevel domain isn't one of com, edu, gov, mil, org, net, int, then the "search" entry in resolv.conf is empty. Hier is the patch: --- ./pump.c.search Wed Aug 30 17:59:02 2000 +++ ./pump.c Wed Aug 30 18:03:02 2000 @@ -164,8 +164,8 @@ } else if (domain && !strchr(domain, '.')) { fprintf(f, "search %s\n", domain); } else if (domain) { - fprintf(f, "search"); - chptr = domain; + fprintf(f, "search %s", domain); + chptr = strchr(domain, '.'); do { /* If there is a single . in the search path, write it out * only if the toplevel domain is com, edu, gov, mil, org,
I've fixed this (but a bit differently) in CVS [check the comment in the code]. Leaving the bug open because whatever this behavior was supposed to accomplish (if anything) is gone now.
0.8.4 (with my change) built in dist-7.1
A similiar change is already in recent versions of pump (including that in guinness)
