Oh, I'd understand *that* (or, rather, Google would make me understand that). The problem is more along the lines of 'why doesn't /etc/resolv.conf work?'. Is there a general policy on this sort of thing somewhere? It's not like this is the only thing ever to need resolv.conf in a chroot, and it would make sense to follow existing packages and provide an extra README or note in the description if the standard is not to do anything about resolv.conf (as seems to be the case). This discussion is perhaps best re-started on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Joachim

I'm afraid this'll result in lots of questions on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I, for one,
would be stumped as to why I'd want OpenNIC.
It might be worthwhile noting that if your nameservers change a lot, it
might be a good idea to put OpenNIC servers in chroot'ed resolv.conf
files, as those will always be accessible and functional.
(Alternatively, copy /etc/resolv.conf after each change - isn't there a
dhclient hook for such a thing?)

So I just copied resolv.conf to /var/www/etc/resolv.conf and it now
works just fine.
So, Nick, if you feel like modifying your script:
patch gallery-openbsd-chroot-install.sh << EOF
103a104
mkdir -p /var/www/etc
114a116,118
echo 'Copying resolv.conf...'
cd /var/www/etc
cp /etc/resolv.conf .

Thanks again,

Not sure that just copying /etc/resolv.conf wholesale without sanity
checking is such a good idea... folks on dynamic IP's (PPPoE and cable,
for instance) may have ISPs who assign DNS service based on which IP
address the client gets. A better idea may be to append a couple of the
OpenNIC (or other 3rd party DNS service) Tier 2 DNS servers to
/var/www/etc/resolv.conf or /v/w/e/r.c.tail.
Good Idea. Actually, since everyone may not even need this little hack,
I've just changed it to create in /var/www/etc/:
resolv.conf.local
resolv.conf.OpenNIC
Then users can copy one if they need it. here is a diff to the original
script.
Also, ./secure.sh is on its own line in the original script. I've left
this alone here, as it doesn't hurt anything, and it's probably a good
idea anyway.
