openvpn: statusexplanation |
Reopening for more discussion.
What are you using as DHCP client ? Also are you using Network-Manager ? Are you using Network-Manager-OpenVPN ?
I'm still convinced openvpn calls resolvconf properly, however if the other elements of the system (DHCP client / Network Manager...) modify /etc/resolv.conf without using resolvconf, openVPN's update-resolv-conf will indeed trash their settings. The system must either fully use resolvconf or fully use some other way of keeping /etc/resolv.conf sane.
Note that using network-manager-openVPN instead of update-resolv-conf to update /etc/resolv.conf is apparently also buggy (DHCP keeps on overwriting the settings, see bug 247257). Also see bug 107564 for related problems and solutions. |
Let's set it to Incomplete, so that you can complete it in the future (or someone else can).
Thanks ! |

Tom Dickson: your request is a separate issue. This bug was about update-resolv-conf not restoring old values, and will be set to Invalid since update-resolv-conf works properly. To avoid confusion, could you please file a separate bug about adding documentation to make it clearer how to use update-resolv-conf ?
Thanks in advance. |
