arloth Posted October 5, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted October 5, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for MY security, I wouldn't rely on automatic network configuration inherited from the black box of my internet provider ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
