systemd-resolved can also be just uninstalled. Provides at least very basic symlink removal.

I think the major problem is with upgrades from previous versions of Fedora, where nothing similar were required. systemd-resolved just grabbed /etc/resolv.conf and made many other dhcp clients unable to get it back. They also don't offer simple way to disable resolved and keep DNS working. > > Systemd didn't invent replacing resolv.conf, various dhcp client > shofware have done that for years (and it was just as irritating when > they did it). systemd invented replacing /etc/resolv.conf with symlink leading to a private /run directory. No other software did that automatically AFAIK. If you disable systemd-resolved later, it would stay broken. Other clients just overwritten the contents of /etc/resolv.conf. A common trick is using chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf when you want to prevent random rewrites. When it should reconfigure system name resolution, it has to use some way. Current resolvconf from systemd-resolved package is useless without systemd-resolved enabled. I don't know about any better generic interface to configure system nameservers. -- Petr Menšík Software Engineer Red Hat, http://www.redhat.com/ email: pemensik@xxxxxxxxxx PGP: DFCF908DB7C87E8E529925BC4931CA5B6C9FC5CB _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
