This requires dnsmasq to listen on 127.0.0.1 and bind on 172.18.0.1. The resolv.conf.in file wound need to be removed from git, so the OS could manage resolv.conf on its own. thinking more about this... For a full dnsmasq setup, we will need to control resolv.conf and /etc/hosts: - To define the fqdn and the additional names it serves, we need to control /etc/hosts - I think we will need to still control resolv.conf. I am not sure if we really want it controlled by dhclient -- that would override hand-picked DNSs, for example OpenDNS. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

For end users, an F11-based XS will have security support into the future, plus some bugfixes. In itself, it doesn't get us any compelling improvements.
