I found -- to my surprise -- that it's possible to have multiple search lines in /etc/resolv.conf. Thus, problem solved since now I can just add the additional search line to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail Now I wonder why dhclient-script transforms the domain-name to a search line instead of setting the domain in /etc/resolv.conf, but I guess there is a reason too... -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?

DHCP doesn't let you specify the DNS search path. You'll need to do it some other way, should you desire this functionality. M pgp4Bv9q5aHoF.pgp Description: PGP signature

IIRC you can edit the basis resolv.conf template, and add these entries there, somewhere in /etc/resovlconf or whatever. greetings -- vbi -- Oops -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This does not work simply because that's the domain name, and the domain name is a single item. I specifically noted that prepend or supersede are not options. Thin clients will not properly work when their $(hostname --fqdn) outputs "node10.cluster.ailab.ch ailab.ch ifi.unizh.ch" as that is not a FQDN. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?

Most DHCP clients allow you to override configuration sent by the DHCP server. I am using this on my home LAN server in /etc/dhclient.conf: supersede domain-name "grep.be debian.org"; prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; which results in a resolv.conf like this: search grep.be debian.org nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver nameserver I'm doing something similar on rock, my workstation, but I'm not using dhclient there. However, I seem to be unable to find out how, exactly, I configured it there -- and it's been a few years since I did this. -- EARTH smog | bricks AIR -- mud -- FIRE soda water | tequila WATER -- with thanks to fortune signature.asc Description: Digital signature
