Description of problem: If there are more than 3 nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf the search option appears to be broken. I realize the man page for /etc/resolv.conf says that 3 are the maximum but it should not cause the search option to be ignored. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.15-59.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put in /etc/resolv.conf: domain ku.edu nameserver 129.237.32.1 nameserver 129.237.133.1 nameserver 24.124.0.196 nameserver 24.124.0.197 search ku.edu cc.ku.edu vm.ku.edu ku.edu is.ku.edu 2. nslookup itprdptlwb01 3. Actual results: [long@shibby personal]$ nslookup itprdptlwb01 Server: 129.237.32.1 Address: 129.237.32.1#53 ** server can't find itprdptlwb01: NXDOMAIN Expected results: Comment out one of the nameserver lines and you get: [long@shibby personal]$ nslookup itprdptlwb01 Server: 129.237.32.1 Address: 129.237.32.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: itprdptlwb01.cc.ku.edu Address: 129.237.18.204 Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
