Bug 289971 – net-misc/dhcp-3.1.2_p1: domain-search option is not used to make resolv.conf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michel Wilson 2009-10-21 08:54:08 UTC]

The new domain-search option is not used to populate the search option in /etc/resolv.conf; currently the domain is (mis)used as search option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the dhcp server with option domain-name "foo.example.com" and option domain-search "foo.example.com example.com"
2. Acquire a lease

Actual Results:  
/etc/resolv.conf contains "search foo.example.com"

Expected Results:  
/etc/resolv.conf should contain "domain foo.example.com" and "search foo.example.com. example.com."

I will try to attach a patch and new ebuild using this patch.

Please update to apply against 3.1.3_p1 and 4.1.x.
Or note if it's not required anymore.
