Bug Description

Binary package hint: connman

connman 0.45+dfsg-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 10.04

According to one of our sysadmins, dhcpd.conf contains:
------------
option domain-name "millbank";
------------

This is apparently supposed to result in these lines in /etc/resolv.conf:
------------
domain millbank
search millbank
------------

But it does not: no "domain" or "search" lines end up in resolv.conf at all.

That's right, connman does not currently set either domain or search lines even though it receives them from the dhcp client.

Henri Bragge posted patches upstream to fix this:

http://lists.connman.net/pipermail/connman/2010-December/002792.html

I haven't tested the patches myself, but hopefully they will be applied soon. If not, I'll include the patches as distro patches.

Connman daily build version 0.64-0ubuntu1~ind1+r2955+201012080307 or later now has a fix for this. I quickly tested this and it seems to work.

I'll mark this bug fix released as soon as the fix is uploaded to natty (which might take some time).
