Bug 134346 – [resolvconf-0.5] nameservers without search/domain

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oldrich Jedlicka 2006-05-25 10:19:38 UTC]

I think the resolfconf has a small typo in code:

for N in ${NS} ; do
  if [[ -n ${DOMAIN} ]] ; then
    NEWDOMAIN="${NEWDOMAIN} ${DOMAIN},${N}"
  elif [[ -n ${SEARCH} ]] ; then
    for S in ${SEARCH} ; do
      NEWSEARCH="${NEWSEARCH} ${S},${N}"
    done
  else
    NEWNS="${NEWNS} ${NS}"
  fi
done

The NEWNS line should be NEWNS="${NEWNS} ${N}", or there is a break command missing.

NEWNS is a space separated list of nameservers without any specific domain or search

NEWDOMAIN and NEWSEARCH are space separated lists of nameservers with the domain before it, comma separated.

This is how I designed it.

Sorry, you probably do not understand the problem.

If there is no domain or search, then for every item in NS you add the FULL (!) NS into NEWNS. So the NS is in NEWNS as many times as the number of name servers. Of course, uniquify will fix the problem, but the problem is still there and this could cause problems in future development...

Fixed in resolvconf-gentoo-0.6 - thanks
