Subject: /etc/resolv.conf overwitte with broken version ("domain" instead of
"search")
Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.1.0-2
Severity: important
Since a few weeks, my /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten by a broken
version after the network link has been up for a few hours. I suspect
this might be related to this recent change in dhcp3-client:
* debian/dhclient-script.{linux,kfreebsd}: if the domain-name option is set,
set "domain" in /etc/resolv.conf, if the domain-search option is set, set
"search" in /etc/resolv.conf
When I first connect to a network link (via NetworkManager),
networkmanager writes a correct resolve.conf like this:
| # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
| search baz.lan zoetekouw.net zoetekouw.net. vpn.zoetekouw.net.
| nameserver 192.168.1.11
where "baz.lan zoetekouw.net" originates from the dhcp server, and
"zoetekouw.net. vpn.zoetekouw.net." from my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf:
| append domain-name " zoetekouw.net. vpn.zoetekouw.net. ";
| request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
| domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
| netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu;
The lease I get is (from /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth1.leases):
| lease {
| interface "eth1";
| fixed-address 192.168.1.13;
| option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
| option routers 192.168.1.11;
| option dhcp-lease-time 86400;
| option dhcp-message-type 5;
| option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.11;
| option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.11;
| option domain-name "baz.lan zoetekouw.net zoetekouw.net. vpn.zoetekouw.net.
";
| renew 6 2008/01/26 06:06:02;
| rebind 6 2008/01/26 16:02:25;
| expire 6 2008/01/26 19:02:25;
| }
Now, when the links is kept up long enough, /etc/resolv.conf is
overwritten by:
| domain baz.lan zoetekouw.net zoetekouw.net. vpn.zoetekouw.net.
| nameserver 192.168.1.11
Note the "domain" instead of "search" and the misschien second
"zoetekouw.net" entry. This resolv.conf is not written by
NetworkManager, as it lacks the netwokmanager "do not edit" comment.
I think this might be written by dhcp3-client when the lease is
renewed. I'm not entirely sure though, but I can;t think of any other
program that might be messing with resolv.conf.
Any idea what could be the problem?
