Removing "option ndots:0 from /etc/resolv.conf?

Hi Leam,

 

 

Ideally, you'd be able to use 'b dns include' to remove or modify the default value. However this isn't possible due to a bug noted in 227069. As a workaround, you can:

 

 

 

1) remount usr as writeable:

 

remount -o rw,remount /usr

 

 

2) edit the dns.tmpl file's ndots: value:

 

sed -i s/ndots:0/ndots:1/ /defaults/config/templates/dns.tmpl

 

 

3) verify that the edit took place:

 

grep ndots /defaults/config/templates.dns.tmpl

 

 

4) edit /etc/resolv.conf's ndots values by hand or use sed

 

sed -i s/ndots:0/ndots:1/ /etc/resolv.conf

 

 

the system should behave as expected with respect to ndots values now. dns.tmpl handles what

 

the ndots value will be set to on the next boot, resolv.conf handles the current value.

 

 

 

You can raise the visibility of this bug by opening a case with F5 Support and asking for your request to be attached to the change request.
