[Bug 148555] Re: kvpnc: wrong modification of resolv.conf

[Olaf Lenz]

Using Hardy on AMD64.

To me it looks as though the DNS handling of kvpnc (or openvpn?),
NetworkManager and resolvconf do not really go well together.

Case 1: kvpnc, openvpn, NetworkManager, but NO resolvconf:
I can open a VPN connection and everything works fine for some minutes. After some minutes, however, /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten by the default nameserver (I assume by NetworkManager), so that the VPN nameservice doesn't wokr anymore.

Case 2: kvpnc, openvpn, NetworkManager and resolvconf:
NetworkManager uses resolvconf (by way of the ifup-scripts, if I'm not mistaken), however kvpnc does not - it simply overwrites /etc/resolv.conf and saves a copy of the old one. When /etc/resolv.conf is reinstalled by kvpnc after the VPN has been disconnected, it copies the old version of resolv.conf over the kvpnc-version. However, as resolvconf requires a symbolic link, this will destroy the functionality of resolvconf...

Does anybody know how to get kvpnc to use resolvconf? That would
probably be the best solution...
