Mathieu, thank you for the detailed explanation. Automatic editing of /etc/hosts always struck me as a dicey proposition, and I'm glad to hear it got axed.
For those users/admins who do want /etc/hosts to be updated with DHCP info, it may be worthwhile to provide an example of such a dispatcher.d/ script for them to use as a starting point. It's a lot easier to modify a well-documented (if technically unsupported) script to one's needs than to figure out how to write such a script from scratch, and I think bundling one in would soften the blow of the WONTFIX for those who had hoped for an alternate outcome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659817 Title: NetworkManage does not set domain in /etc/hosts on DHCP connections To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/659817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
