Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4b1-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

apparently, pppd sets the environment variable USEPEERDNS regardless of
the option 'usepeerdns' being set or unset in a peer's configuration
file.

I have "/usr/bin/pppd call mypeer" and the usual settings, except that I
commented out usepeerdns in the peer's configuration file, but my own
nameserver settings in /etc/resolv.conf were overwritten with the
peer-supplied nameservers nonetheless. This prevents my own nameserver
settings from taking effect (unless I fix it up later in the process
which should not be neccessary).


Best,
--Toni++
