Bug 465679

You're using NetworkManager, right? Please provide the outputs of

grep -E "^NETCONFIG|^NETWORKMANAGER" /etc/sysconfig/network/config
netconfig update -v

the /var/log/NetworkManager file and the netconfig state data using
e.g.:
tar cvzf /tmp/bnc465679-netconfig.tgz /var/run/netconfig

Yes, I'm using NetworkManager.

OK, it looks like the data is from a moment where ppp0 was down.
And after the "netconfig update -v" you've (still)

  search suse.cz suse.de
  nameserver 10.20.0.2
  nameserver 10.20.0.8

in /etc/resolv.conf... netconfig worked IMO propelly.

Please provide the outpus and /var/log/NetworkManager (!) again while
ppp0 is _up_. Or did you not configured ppp0 with NetworkManager?

The NetworkManager makes use of a plugin that provides the DNS settings
to the NetworkManager.

Using a mix of NetworkManager and any other method else is not supported.

/var/run/netconfig contents (ppp0 up)

Again, with ppp0 up:

I'm using pppd directly, no NM at all (I run rcnetwork stop before).
So I guess this is not related to NetworkManager.

$ cat var/run/netconfig/NetworkManager.netconfig 
CREATETIME='58'
SERVICE='NetworkManager'
INTERFACE='eth0'
$ cat var/run/netconfig/ppp0/netconfig0
CREATETIME='5816'
SERVICE='pppd'
INTERFACE='ppp0'
IPADDR='10.168.1.192'
PTPADDR='10.6.6.6'
DNSSERVERS='62.141.0.2 213.162.65.1'
NETBIOSNAMESERVER=''

OK, the ip-up script provides the settings correctly to netconfig but
they're not used because NetworkManager mode is active.

NetworkManager (ppp plugin) seems to still not provide any DNS settings
to netconfig. I've already reassigned to Tambet before...

Or is pppd not started/configured via NetworkManager? In this case it
is a WONTFIX -- you've to set custom DNS policy, e.g.:

  NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC_FALLBACK ppp0 NetworkManager"

(In reply to comment #5)

OK, correct. NetworkManager is exclusive.

> So I guess this is not related to NetworkManager.

OK, see above - unsupported / in custom policy like this only:

NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC_FALLBACK ppp* NetworkManager"

What I do is:
  bash# rcnetwork stop
  bash# pppd

I'd expect if NM is not running that netconfig sets resolv.conf despite
the policy. But anyways, I'll then try setting NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY and
let's see.

No, the policy is always applied.
