Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 0.90.0-3
Severity: normal
The "domain" option in /etc/resolv.conf is superseded by the "search"
option and, accordingly, lot of administrators and programs (such as
DHCP client programs) use "search".
I begin with this /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 194.159.73.137
search foo.bar baz.goo
None of these domain names appears in the
Network Settings|General|Domain name field. After changing this
field to 'garg.com', I have this in /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 194.159.73.137
search foo.bar baz.goo
domain garg.com
Unfortunately, as mentioned in resolv.conf(5)
The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If more
than one instance of these keywords is present, the last
instance wins.
I'd say that the program should know about the 'search' option and
handle it properly.
