These types of data are used for the domain-search option for example, and encodes an RFC1035 compressed DNS label list on the wire. no mention of commas and it states that the _entire_ string should be quoted. once i added the commas and changed the quoting, network manager created the resolv.conf search line without the /032. i'm unsure if i should file a bug against dhcp3-client re: the documentation, as the format described in the man page seems to work outside of network-manager. do you have a suggestion? thanks for your time. let me know if you need me to supply any additional information or try anything regarding the second part of this bug (network manager's handling of the domain and search lines). I think the dhcp-options man page is outdated. See also [1]. I CCed Andrew, just to be sure. Nonetheless, even if this is a misconfiguration, I talked to NM upstream, and we discussed if NM could be a bit smarter and strip off /032. After all, it's not a valid domain name component. Upstream does not seem to be aversed to this idea. Andrew, what would be your recommendation?
