[Bug 933723] Re: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file
I get the exact same behavior on the Kubuntu Precise desktop beta, though bind9 is not installed. I end up with the resolv.conf posted by the OP with 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver. I cannot override this even with static DNS settings in Kubuntu's network configuration. When the network starts, the manager ignores both the DNS settings on my DHCP- serving router and any static nameserver and search list entries I provide via network configuration. The notion that bind9 would be installed by default on ordinary client machines is ludicrous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933723 Title: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/933723/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 933723] Re: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file
Yes, I think that Debian bug report #483098 gives the background information needed to understand what's going on here. Bind9 should certainly not by default send its (loopback) address to resolvconf. Bind9 should only send its address to resolvconf if it is known that named can provide general DNS.

[Bug 933723] Re: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file
Spoke with Jeff on IRC; apparently he's getting bind9 installed when he wasn't expecting it, and this is where resolv.conf is being pointed. So the bug here is with bind9: the debconf question bind9/run-resolvconf defaults to 'true', which means that if resolvconf is present (which, as of 12.04, it always is), it automatically registers itself as a caching nameserver - but at least in some cases is failing to actually resolve anything. This may be particular to the case where you have a firewall blocking access to port 53 on the public Internet and are required to use the DHCP-provided DNS information. In that case, installing bind9 is probably a bad idea... but just to be sure, assigning this bug to bind9 so we can consider whether bind9 should be hooking into resolvconf by default. ** Package changed: resolvconf (Ubuntu) = bind9 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: bind9 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933723 Title: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/933723/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 933723] Re: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file
At the very least, this behavior is awkward because it means installing bind9 on a machine will immediately break nameservice until it's configured, even if the admin *knows* that this configuration is needed and is planning to address it ASAP. So I think bind9 should probably not inject itself into resolvconf by default. I also think the cert lab should probably fix its install tests to not pull in an unconfigured bind9 server while testing. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #483098 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483098 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933723 Title: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/933723/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
