Support for /sbin/netconfig under OpenSuse 11.1 for maintaining resolv.conf file
|
|
I added support for OpenSuse 11.1's netconfig system for managing
resolv.conf as modify_resolvconf no longer exists.
One bug which I hit, and which has already been reported to Novell, is
that netconfig gives dynamically-assigned nameserver entries lower
priority than the statically-assigned ones, so if you have three
statically-assigned dns entries, your dynamically-assigned ones will
not take affect. There's a simple one-line change to fix that issue
in the bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485793
Here's a patch to vpn-script.in to add netconfig support. I've also
included it as a txt attachment.
