Description of problem: dhclient.conf seems to be ignored when resolv.conf gets generated. In my config, I have lines to prepend and append domain-names which are ignored. The problem this poses me is I access much of my companies network infrastructure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit dhclient.conf as described in additional info. 2. Restart networking via system tray. Actual results: A resolv.conf is created that is identical to one without the modifications I made. Expected results: The line with domain-search contains numerous extra entries as specified below. Additional info: I added the following two lines to my file: prepend domain-search "<office-location>.<company-name>.com <office-location>.eng.<comany-name>.com "; append domain-search " hr.<company-name>.com"; I also tried domain-name in place of domain-search.
The /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf is used only by network service. I'll add a note to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf or eventually avoid shipping that file entirely, because it's there only because of bug #560361. The NetworkManager, which you most likely use creates and uses its own configuration file (/var/run/nm-dhclient-<iface>.conf) for dhclient. The only way how to influence what will be in nm-dhclient-<iface>.conf is via NM GUI (because the file is regenerated during restart) and AFAICT there's no such option to prepend/append domain-search/domain-name, is it ? Jirka, Dan ?
NM looks for /etc/dhclient-<interface>.conf then /etc/dhcp/dhclient-<interface>.conf and will merge the first found into the dhclient config files it produces.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
