New question #76643 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76643
1) Editing the connection from 'Automatic (PPP)' to 'Automatic (PPP) addresses only' & adding "208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220" to 'DNS Servers:' did not work. That updates /etc/resolv.conf and does not touch /etc/ppp/resolv.conf, which is what a ppp connection uses. This is (most likely) a bug, but screw reporting it, they won't fix it. 2) Editing /etc/ppp/resolv.conf with "nameserver <IP>" lines for each OpenDNS server and then chmod'ing the file from 644 to 444 did not work. The pppd (or something) over-wrote it anyway and it was still read-only! Go figure - writing to a read-only file. Can we say security hazard? 3) Editing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf with a prepend does not work. I guess pppd doesn't use this either. 4) Editing /etc/ppp/peers/provider won't work, as whatever network manager uses, it does not use that file. I know this because I commented out the usepeerdns option, but... 5) My pppd process has usepeerdns in it's options, even though I have told it to do addressing only and provided my own DNS servers via NM-applet. Yet another bug, or the reason for problem #1? Great! This is absolutely ridiculous. It should not be this hard to set a DNS server! -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
