Quick Tip: NetworkManager and /etc/resolv.conf

November 6, 2009 – 10:31

If you have trouble with NetworkManager overwriting your search and domain configuration after every startup and you’re using DHCP, add the following line to your /etc/dhclient.conf:

append domain-name " company.local other.company.local";

So whenever your DHCP server doesn’t provide these information (the one in my company does not), it’ll add this

domain company.local
search company.local other.company.local

to your /etc/resolv.conf.
