Hi,
I am behind the dhclient-script for past the two days which updates the
/etc/resolv.conf. Let me explain the scenario
The dhcp server is sending the ipv6 dhcp nams server to the client. The
dhcp server has the name server in the sever conf file as below
subnet6 2001:470:108:4::2/64 {
...........?......................................
option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:470:108:4::10;
..................................................
}
The dhclient has "dhcp6.name-servers" string under request in dhclient.conf
In dhclient-script under dhcpv6 section the name servers are being updated
in /etc/resolv.conf. The default behaviour of the script is to write the
new name-servers to the resolv.conf file overwriting the old contents. The
overwriting of this file is not acceptable since it is having nameserver IP
updated or used by LTE, ethernet in my testing environment.
So I tried to tweak the script a bit by removing the mv command and
appending the dhcp6 name servers using echo command directly to resolv.conf
than writing to a temp file.
Within the make_resolv_conf function as the last statement I displayed the
content of resolv.conf. I executed the dhclient with - 6 and - v enabled.
The client fetched the the new ip and print shows the nameserver is
appended(cat /etc/resolv.conf)
By default the /etc/resolv.conf content was
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
The print (cat /etc/resolv.conf) showed the content as
namserver 2001:470:108:4::10
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
Once the dhclient stops successfully I opened the resolv.conf and the new
servers were missing. It is having default IPs. What could be the reason
for this behaviour.?
Who is refreshing the /etc/resolv.conf. I checked the dhclient-script but
couldn't find any clue for this.
To confirm no other process updates the file, I killed the LTE process but
the result was same. Other than dhclient-script how the resolv.conf is
getting overwritten all the time? What am I missing?
Any help would be much appreciated
