The proper way for the admin to stop /etc/resolv.conf from being updated by resolvconf is for him or her to remove the symbolic link /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. The resolvconf program only ever writes to the target of that symlink. Thus, in the absence of that link, resolvconf has no effect on resolv.conf.
Yes, Ubuntu's dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolvconf checks /etc/resolv.conf and stomps on it if no symbolic link is there. That is different from what the Debian version of the script does and is a departure from the Debian convention. That has been complained about in bug #1385010. Can you please describe more fully what you perceive to be the problem? That's not clear to me yet. In advance I will say that it is supposed to be the case that if the admin has removed the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf then upgrading the package does not restore the symlink. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394081 Title: Add manual options for administrators To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1394081/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
