dhcp periodicall effectively empties /etc/resolv.conf

Um, alternatively, if your /etc/resolv.conf gets changed automatically, you can prevent access to modifying it (Even root can't modify) by giving:

sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

(You can undo this by manually giving -i later, if you need something changed within)

Though that above thing works only for EXT2/3 FS.

Yes, I had done that yesterday afternoon, and had a peaceful day afterwards.

This is workaround, but I am convinced dhcp needs fixing.

Thanks,

Yavuz

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in dhcp.

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the info.

I would like to ask another favour. I have another bug report (158169).
In that one to I left package open, as I was not sure. But further
observation convinced me that the bug is in Emacs.

Would you kindly set that package as well.

I guess, I might try to file a bug report with emacs developer too.

Thanks,

Yavuz

If this bug is still affecting you in 8.10, you can uncomment and use the "prepend domain-name-servers" directive in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

Have not see this for a long time, not even in 7.10. Thanks for advice.
