[Voyage-linux] 0.9-rc1, resolvconf and dialup nameservers.

[Raimund Berger]

Hi

this is just fyi, about some trouble I had with resolvconf honoring the
name servers pppd got from my DSL ISP on dialup.

More specifically, pppd puts those name servers into
/run/resolvconf/interface/ppp0.pppd
via hook scripts, and
/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
should be updated accordingly.

Didn't happen though, resolv.conf always contained just the line
nameserver 127.0.0.1

On looking through the scripts I noticed the issue can be resolved by
putting
TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=no
into
/etc/default/resolvconf

Also, /etc/resolv.conf should be symbolically linked to
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf
to make those name servers visible "globally".

One of the very few issues I ran into when installing 0.9-rc1 on my WRAP
board ...
