Force reload of /etc/resolv.conf whenever it is updated
Patch is small and really simple to read and to see what it does. Feel free to modify it.
doesnt this address what you want to do ? http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=984 (In reply to comment #2) > doesnt this address what you want to do ? > http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=984 More or less. I already tried this but it did not work. All I know is that either Debian and Ubuntu commited a patch like the one I am submitting[1]. Actually, this is the solely way I have found working for me. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272265 point being that the patch/idea was proposed on the glibc mailing list and it was completely shot down i'm not too keen on maintaining things where upstream flat out said no ... but that doesnt mean we will Up to you guys :) I opened a bug report since another people has the same problem. I recommended, as upstream does, to use nscd instead. This is not vital to use or not the patch. What I want, is an elegant way to ack clients on resolv.conf update. If there is a clearer solution, I am likely to use it instead of this hack. Oh, by the way, why did the patch get "shot down" ? It works. upstream said to use nscd Ok then you can close this bug report since nothing will be done. Regards Closing. |
