Without splitting hairs, just to avoid the discussion going in the wrong direction: systemd-resolved is *not* a (DNS) "server" (but a system service). It is a DNS „client“ or consumer and an alternative to glib's getaddrinfo, which solves (or wants to solve) some security issues and provides additional features, such as a cache and split DNS. Using /etc/resolv.conf as a symlink to /run/.../stub-resolve.conf ensures that programs that use the API and those that work directly via /etc/resolv.conf obtain consistent DNS information. Therefore, it is generally a bad idea to replace this symlink. Systemd offers a significant improvement in today's network world, where servers often serve both public and private networks, or desktops/laptops are additionally connected to corporate networks via VPN. Therefore, surely not "everyone" wants to turn off systemd-networkd. These are very special cases. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora docs team contributor Java developer and enthusiast _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
