[Voyage-linux] dynamic nameserver problem

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Clemens,

resolvconf introduced in 0.6.5 is used to solve this late .  I am not 
expecting it does not work.  At boot before setting network, there 
should be a message:
===================================
Reconfiguring resolvconf.
mkdir: created directory `/lib/init/rw/resolvconf'
mkdir: created directory `/lib/init/rw/resolvconf/interface'
Copying /ro to /rw.
Voyage is now setting up tmpfs for changed files...
     tmpfs: mount back /lib/init/rw/var/log to /var/log
     tmpfs: mount back /lib/init/rw/var/tmp to /var/tmp
Done.
Setting up resolvconf...done.
===================================

If you see these lines this means resolve.conf is kept as in 
/etc/resolvconf/run and is symlink to /lib/init/rw/resolvconf, which is 
writable.

BTW, /etc/resolv.conf is also be symlink to  
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf as well, that I don't see why it is not 
writable.  May be you have different environment than me.  Otherwise, 
please check /etc/init.d/voyage-sync that enable resolvconf part.
