2014-04-25 Thread Robin Battey
Public bug reported: When using network-manager, and specifying the IPv6 routes, I am able to enter and save IPv6 Settings static routes with no gateway or metric. Upon hitting "save", the dialog closes apparently successfully but this entry appears in the syslog (actual address defaced): Apr 25

I would if I considered it a bug. (I didn't fully describe the current state of samba4, because I figured it was irrelevant: You can alter the interfaces it binds to, but not for *only* the dns resolver -- so currently, if you want samba4 listening on the wildcard address you'll need the dns resolv

In response to #131 and #134 by Thomas: I would argue that "will it conflict with anything that exists?" is the wrong question, here. Certainly it will conflict in the future, and removing the users ability to run a DNS service on the wildcard address is suboptimal at best, even if they don't *ne

You've got the basic idea. The nsswitch.conf file is where Name Service services are configured, and "hosts" is one of them. DNS is *one* way to look up hosts, but so is "files" (/etc/hosts) and "mdns4" (avahi). Anything that extends how names are translated to addresses should, imnho, be done th

> Are you sure? I am only aware of named.conf's "listen-on { IP_ADDRESS; }". If there is a feature such as you describe then presumably named binds ALL:53 and then filters according to the addresses on the specified interfaces. Nope, I just verified, you're quite correct. I hadn't heard of it eit

Another drawback is that you still need to manually configure bind (and others) to only listen on particular addresses. If you're using dhcp this presents a problem, because you don't actually know the address. With bind, this is okay, mostly, because you can say to listen on everything for a part

I just read this entire chain, and I'm surprised not to see mention of using an NSS plugin, like Avahi (and ldap and NIS and /etc/hosts and DNS itself). I expect it would be simple enough to write a small NSS plugin that merely calls the NM-dnsmasq (running on localhost on a port other than 53) an
