Description Ihar Hrachyshka 2010-07-29 11:49:42 UTC
Here is the snippet: "As you might have noticed, vpnc did not alter your /etc/resolv.conf, thus not setting up DNS services for the virtual link."
Actually, vpnc alters /etc/resolv.conf.

Reproducible: Always

CCing vpnc's maintainer to see what's going on.

 This snippet is completely wrong and needs to be removed along with the ", but only by IP address".

I guess things have changed since the guide was originally written. I'll fix it.

Fixed in CVS.
