pdnsd resolvconf script causes pdnsd to go into endless loop

[Hadmut Danisch]

Binary package hint: pdnsd

Hi,

when using pdnsd with resolvconf, the pdnsd's script
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/pdnsd causes an endless loop if the machine
does not have internet connection. At boottime /etc/init.d/pdnsd sets 127.0.0.1 as a default nameserver for the lo device to override all other settings
for other interfaces, as it is expected to be. That's ok.

But then, the resolvconf passes this through to
/etc/resolvconf/update.d/pdnsd which sets the pdnsd's parent
nameserver "resolvconf" to 127.0.0.1, causing pdnsd to go into an
endless loop querying itself when been asked for any address.

The script needs to eliminate 127.0.0.1 from the list of servers to be
set and never let pdnsd query itself.

regards
Hadmut

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report. This issue is fixed in debian with the 1.2.5par-1 package, which unfortunately didn't make it into gutsy. I'll be auto-synced for gutsy+1 though.
