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