[Bug 1000728] [NEW] /etc/resolv.conf is autogenerated but the comments in the file don't say where from

[Dave Russell]

Public bug reported:

The default /etc/resolv.conf contains the following heading:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

Which is great, but it doesn't tell users where they *should* be making
their changes.

That location I assume should be:
/etc/network/interfaces

With the format:
dns-nameservers x.x.x.x
dns-nameservers x.x.x.x

But we should imho point to that file and have a commented out example.

Currently running 12.04 resolvconf version 1.63ubuntu11
