arloth Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 I've got a quick question about the Armbian Ubuntu Xenial install. I want to make sure I'm not in the wrong here before looking around for where to submit a bug report. It seems that at least on the C2s, & NanoPI Neos that I have that the /etc/resolv.conf file is not a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. That doesn't seem right to me, is there a reason it's a regular file and not a link? It messes things up when moving the computer to different networks as it doesn't update with new DNS settings. Possibly more glaringly it could be a security issue for those unaware or not paying attention while using things like openvpn.
zador.blood.stained Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 resolv.conf as a symlink breaks image building process, so it's replaced with a file that works in most setups. It may be a good idea to restore it at first run, but this will need some testing.

Well, for MY security, I wouldn't rely on automatic network configuration inherited from the black box of my internet provider ...
