Description Jesse Thilo 2002-12-05 19:43:52 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
When ifup-post creates a new /etc/resolv.conf from the information in $DOMAIN,
$DNS1, and $DNS2, it writes a "search" line for every line in the original
/etc/resolv.conf, or two "search" lines if the original /etc/resolv.conf was
shorter than that.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, add:
    PEERDNS="yes"
    DOMAIN="some.domain"
    DNS1="1.2.3.4"
    DNS2="5.6.7.8"
2. Run "ifdown eth0"
3. Run "ifup eth0"

Actual Results:  /etc/resolv.conf contained five "search some.domain" lines.

Expected Results:  /etc/resolv.conf should contain a single "search some.domain"
line.

Additional info:

Tested with a "BOOTPROTO=static" configuration only.
